Overwinning op de Nederlandse vloot onder admiraal de Pater, rekenpenning ter ere van Filips IV, koning van Spanje 1631

This small silver medal, created by Adriaan Waterloos in 1631, commemorates the Spanish victory over the Dutch fleet under Admiral de Pater. The obverse depicts a profile portrait of King Philip IV of Spain, while the reverse shows a figure of Neptune, the god of the sea, holding a trident and standing on a sea monster. The medal was most likely minted as a rekenpenning, a type of commemorative medal often awarded to individuals for distinguished service. This artwork exemplifies the 17th-century Dutch tradition of creating medals to celebrate significant historical events.
