Bombardement van Brussel door de Fransen en herovering van Namen door Willem III 1695

This silver medal, created by Christian Wermuth in 1695, commemorates the French bombardment of Brussels and the recapture of Namur by William III. The medal's obverse depicts the city of Brussels under siege with plumes of smoke rising from the city. The reverse displays a scene of the city of Namur with a fortified wall and an inscription in Latin, celebrating William III's victory. The medal is a small but powerful reminder of the events of the War of the Grand Alliance, a significant conflict in European history.
