Johann Willem, hertog van Saksen-Gotha gesneuveld bij Toulon 1707

This silver medal, created by Christian Wermuth in 1707, commemorates Johann Willem, Duke of Saxe-Gotha, who died in battle at Toulon. The obverse of the medal shows the Duke in profile, while the reverse displays a Latin inscription detailing his lineage and military achievements. This small but weighty medal, a testament to the Duke's life, serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the War of the Spanish Succession.
