This 1604 bronze medal, "Inname van Sluis met haven en vloot," commemorates the capture of the city of Sluis, its port, and fleet by the Dutch. The medal depicts various coats of arms and symbolic motifs, including a wreath of foliage encasing the inscription "CAPTA SLUSA. CUM. PORTU. ET. NAVIBVS 19. AVG," marking the date of the victory. The reverse showcases a central shield bearing the coat of arms of the city of Sluis, surrounded by other heraldic symbols. This small, yet significant, medal serves as a tangible reminder of a pivotal moment in Dutch history.
