This is a bronze medal, created by an unknown artist in 1649, commemorating Hieronymus de Maeyer, the general steward of the city of Antwerp. The obverse depicts the city's coat of arms, featuring a tower surrounded by three smaller towers, with the inscription "SPQA" below, possibly an abbreviation of "Senatus Populusque Antverpiensis" (The Senate and People of Antwerp). The reverse features a laurel wreath encircling the text "Bene Facere Et Latari" (to do well and be happy) and the date. This medal is a small but significant piece of art that reflects the city's history and its important figures, making it a valuable object for collectors and historians.
