Huwelijk van Filips de Schone, hertog van Bourgondie met Johanna, prinses van Castillie, rekenpenning van de muntmeesters van Vlaanderen 1496

This 1496 rekenpenning, a type of Dutch coin, commemorates the marriage of Philip the Handsome, Duke of Burgundy, and Joanna, Princess of Castile. Created by an anonymous artist, the coin features a profile of Philip on one side, while the other depicts the heraldic symbol of Burgundy, a flaming heart surmounted by a crown. The small size, 2.9 centimeters in diameter, suggests it was likely intended for private circulation or as a gift. The coin's inscription and design provide valuable insight into the cultural and political significance of this royal marriage.
