This small, round medal depicts a portrait of King William III of England on one side and a heraldic scene of a lion crushing an eagle on the other. The scene likely commemorates William's victory over the Irish forces in the Battle of the Boyne, fought in 1690 while the king was away. Created by Jan (I) Smeltzing in 1691, this medal is a testament to the artistry of the Dutch medallist and serves as a historical artifact of the Williamite war in Ireland.
