"Zeeslag bij Kaap La Hogue, de Fransen verslagen door de vloot van Engeland en Holland," a silver medal created by Jan (I) Luder in 1692, depicts a bust of William III of England in profile. This medal, celebrating the English and Dutch victory over the French fleet at Cape La Hogue, is a fine example of the medallic art of the late 17th century. The inscription surrounding the portrait reads "GULIELMUS III D.G.M. BRIT. FRANC. ET HIB. REX," which translates to "William III, by the Grace of God, King of Britain, France, and Ireland." The medal's small size and detailed relief work make it a valuable historical artifact for collectors and scholars alike.
