Waakzaamheid van de Zeven Verenigde Nederlanden 1612

This 1612 silver medal, titled "Waakzaamheid van de Zeven Verenigde Nederlanden," depicts a ship sailing through stormy seas. On the reverse, the inscription "GOD IS GXI INDVCLAR: IHIS S.C." refers to God as the protector of the United Provinces, the Dutch Republic. This small, but intricate medal, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the importance of Dutch naval power during the Dutch Golden Age.
