This small, bronze medal, created by Jan (I) Smeltzing in 1691, commemorates the subjugation of Ireland by William III. The obverse shows a bust of William III, with a laurel wreath, while the reverse depicts a lion trampling on the Irish harp, symbolizing the victory of the English Crown. The medal was likely produced to celebrate the victory and to commemorate the event for posterity.
