Overlijden van Martin Luther, hervormer in Duitsland 1675 - 1685

This small silver medal, created by Swedish artist Arvid Karlsteen in the late 17th century, commemorates the death of Martin Luther, a key figure in the Protestant Reformation. The obverse depicts a portrait of Luther, while the reverse features a symbolic depiction of his legacy: an open book with a cross and a dove above, representing his teachings and the Holy Spirit. The medal's small size and intricate details make it a valuable example of commemorative medallic art.
