Sluiting van het drievoudige verbond tussen Engeland, Frankrijk en de Republiek 1596

This small, silver medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1596, commemorates the dissolution of the Triple Alliance between England, France, and the Dutch Republic. The medal's obverse depicts three figures representing the three countries, while the reverse shows a broken column, symbolizing the collapse of the alliance. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers insight into the political climate of 16th-century Europe and its alliances.
