Vertrek van Leopold Willem, aartshertog van Oostenrijk, uit de zuidelijke Nederlanden, rekenpenning van Frederik de Marselaer, magistraat van de schatkist van Brussel 1656

This small, bronze medal commemorates the departure of Leopold William, Archduke of Austria, from the Southern Netherlands in 1656. Made by an anonymous artist, the medal features a profile portrait of Leopold William on one side, and a depiction of the archduke's departure, likely on horseback, on the other. The medal, measuring just 3.2 cm in diameter, is a small but historically significant artifact that speaks to the importance of the event it commemorates. This type of medal is known as a rekenpenning, a commemorative token or coin minted in the 17th century.
