Vroedschapspenning van de stad Haarlem 1688

This silver medal, crafted by Dutch medalist Daniel Drappentier in 1688, is a testament to the artistry of the period. The obverse depicts a ship sailing past a fortified city, symbolizing the city of Haarlem's maritime trade and military prowess. The reverse showcases a female figure, likely a personification of the city, standing atop a building and holding a staff, reflecting the city's prosperity and authority. The medal's inscription, "HARLEMUM," confirms its connection to the city. The small size and intricate detailing of this medal exemplify the high standards of Dutch medal making in the late 17th century.
