This small, 5 cm diameter medal, created by Dutch medallist Jan (I) Smeltzing in 1688, depicts a symbolic union of England, France, Turkey and Algiers against Christian powers. The obverse portrays four figures representing each nation, while the reverse showcases a crowned dragon holding a crescent moon and star, a symbol of the Ottoman Empire. This medal reflects the political climate of the late 17th century, characterized by religious and political tensions between Christian and Islamic nations.
