This small silver medal, created by Dutch artist Adriaan Waterloos in 1668, celebrates Charles II, King of Spain. The obverse depicts a profile portrait of the king, while the reverse showcases a coat of arms encircled by two leafy branches and topped by a crown. The medal's Latin inscription on the obverse translates to "Charles II by the Grace of God, King of Spain and the Indies". This work, with a diameter of only 3.7 cm, is a fine example of 17th-century medallic art, reflecting the artistic trends and historical context of the time.
