Hoop op vrede in de Spaanse Nederlanden, rekenpenning ter ere van Albrecht en Isabella van Oostenrijk 1606

This small, bronze medal commemorates the rule of Archduke Albert and Isabella of Austria in the Spanish Netherlands during the 17th century. Created in 1606 by an anonymous artist, the medal depicts a winged figure representing peace, standing over a vanquished figure of war. The reverse side displays the coat of arms of Albert and Isabella, symbols of their power and authority. The medal, known as a "rekenpenning" (counting penny), was a common form of currency used during the time and served as a reminder of the political climate and rulers of the era.
