This 1595 copper medal, created by an anonymous artist, portrays Filips III van Croy, hertog van Aarschot, and Johanna van Blois. The obverse displays a profile portrait of the Duke, while the reverse features a heraldic shield with the family coat of arms, a common motif in medals from this period. This small, detailed work highlights the artistry of medal-making, a form of numismatic art popular in the 16th and 17th centuries.
