This silver medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1690, commemorates the defeat of the English and Dutch fleets at Beachy Head. The obverse of the medal depicts Louis Alexandre, Count of Toulouse, a French admiral, in profile, while the reverse shows a ship being towed by a horse, symbolizing the French victory. This small yet powerful piece of medallic art, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a reminder of a significant naval battle and the French triumph.
