Geboorte van Balthasar Karel, eerste zoon van Philips IV, penning geslagen op last van de raad van Kamerijk 1629

This silver medal, created in 1629 by an anonymous artist, commemorates the birth of Balthasar Charles, the first son of Philip IV of Spain. The medal depicts the young prince in profile on one side, while the other side features an inscription in Latin detailing the event. This piece, now held in the Rijksmuseum, is a fascinating historical artifact that provides a glimpse into the celebration surrounding a royal birth in the 17th century.
