This silver medal, created by Willem van Bylaer in 1622, celebrates the successful siege of Bergen op Zoom by Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange. The medal depicts a central bust of the Prince surrounded by military imagery, including weapons, a helmet, and a drum. This design was typical of commemorative medals of the period, and is a significant example of Dutch Renaissance metalwork. The inscription around the medal commemorates the victory, making it a valuable historical artifact.
