Johannes Diericxsen, rentmeester-generaal van de stad Antwerpen 1655

This small, circular medal depicts a coat of arms, framed by a wreath of leaves, on one side and an inscription in Latin on the other. The coat of arms is the symbol of the city of Antwerp and features two fortified towers with a crown above them. This medal was likely created to commemorate Johannes Diericxsen, the rentmeester-generaal of Antwerp, in 1655. The inscription likely contains a dedication or message to the subject of the medal. This object is an example of Renaissance-era medal making and a valuable historical artifact.
