Onthoofding van Karel I, koning van Engeland 1649

"Onthoofding van Karel I, koning van Engeland" is a bronze medal created by Thomas Rawlins in 1649. The medal depicts a profile portrait of Charles I on one side, and on the other side a scene depicting the king's execution. The design highlights the political climate of the time, specifically the execution of Charles I by the Parliamentarians, an event that marked the end of the English Civil War. The medal is a small and intimate object, measuring 2.9 cm in diameter, which speaks to its purpose as a commemorative piece.
