This 1648 bronze medal, likely created by an anonymous artist, depicts a skeleton holding a scythe, a common symbol of death, on one side. The other side showcases a vase filled with flowers, symbolizing the healing power of nature. This medal served as an admission ticket to the Hortus Medicus, Amsterdam's botanical garden, established in 1638 as a source of medicinal plants. The inscription "HORTUS MEDICUS" clearly indicates its purpose, highlighting the significance of this garden for the medical community and the general public.
