This small, round bronze medal, dated 1529, is a rekenpenning, a type of commemorative coin often given to members of a council or organization. The piece was likely given to members of the Council of Finance, signifying membership. While the artist is unknown, the artwork shows a shield with the double-headed eagle of the Habsburg dynasty on one side, and a stylized floral motif on the other. It is currently held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
