"The All Saints’ Flood of 1570" is a silver coin created in 1570 by an anonymous artist. This coin commemorates the catastrophic flood that devastated the Netherlands on November 1, 1570, known as "The All Saints' Flood". It features a shield with the coat of arms of the city of Amsterdam, including the "Amsterdam Lion" symbol, and the date "1570" is engraved on the coin. The coin is a small but significant piece of history, memorializing a tragic event and serving as a reminder of the city's resilience.
Comments
Flood Disaster Medals. Much of the Netherlands lies below sea level. The threat of flooding is thus ever-present. Dikes, dams and polders were created to control the water. Still, these safety measures sometimes failed. Each century witnessed disastrous floods, with levees breaching and the countryside being inundated. The North Sea Flood of 1953 led to the construction of the Delta Works. Thanks to this major intervention the country has since remained dry.
