This silver medal, made by an anonymous artist sometime between 1650 and 1655, commemorates the Siege of Amsterdam, a significant event in Dutch history. It features two sides: one side showcases the coat of arms of Amsterdam, while the other depicts a knight on horseback, symbolizing the city's defense against the encroaching forces. The medal, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the city's resilience and the artistic response to historical events.
