Nederlaag van Lodewijk XIV in de zeeslag bij Kaap La Hogue 1692

This bronze medal, created in 1692 by an anonymous artist, commemorates the defeat of King Louis XIV in the Battle of La Hogue. The obverse of the medal features a bust of the French monarch, while the reverse depicts the sinking of a French ship during the naval battle, signifying the victory of the Anglo-Dutch fleet. The medal, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, serves as a poignant reminder of this pivotal historical event.
