This silver medal, created by Jan (I) Smeltzing in 1691, commemorates the capture of the Irish towns of Athlone, Galway, and Sligo by William III. The obverse depicts a profile portrait of William III and Mary II, while the reverse features three scenes representing the captured towns, surrounded by a laurel wreath. This small, but detailed, piece of artwork is a significant example of commemorative medallic art from the 17th century, capturing a moment of political and military triumph.
