This small, circular bronze medal, dating back to 1478, is a "rekenpenning" or counting token. It features an inscription surrounding the image of a building on one side and the initials of Maximiliaan, Archduke of Austria, and Maria, Duchess of Burgundy on the other. The medal was likely used for accounting purposes in the Duchy of Brabant. It is a fine example of late medieval metalwork and a testament to the importance of accounting in the late fifteenth century.
