Inname van Bonn, Huy, Limburg, Rheinberg en Geldern, penning te Alkmaar uitgereikt aan de deelnemers van een loterij voor het Aalmoezeniershuis 1703

This silver medal, created by Martin Schmeltzing in 1703, is a prime example of Dutch medallic art. Measuring just 4.7 cm in diameter, the medal commemorates the lottery held in Alkmaar for the benefit of the "Aalmoezeniershuis" (Almshouse). The obverse depicts a female figure representing the Netherlands, holding a cornucopia and a staff, while the reverse showcases an allegorical scene featuring a cherub, likely representing charity, and a small child. The inscription on the medal includes the names of cities in the Netherlands like Bonn, Huy, Limburg, Rheinberg, and Geldern, emphasizing the geographical scope of the charitable effort.
