This 1568 silver medal, created by Flemish artist Jacques Jonghelinck, depicts Viglius ab Aytta Zuichemus, a prominent figure in the Habsburg Netherlands. The medal's obverse features a portrait of Viglius in profile, while the reverse showcases an elaborate scene with a table laden with objects that symbolize his various roles, including Chancellor of the Order of the Golden Fleece, Provost of St. Bavo, and President of the Privy Council of Brussels. Jonghelinck's medal is a fine example of Renaissance-era portraiture and an insightful glimpse into the life and achievements of a key figure in 16th-century European history.
