This 1675 silver medal, created by Johann Höhn, commemorates the siege of Wismar by King Christian V of Denmark. The obverse shows the king's bust in profile, while the reverse depicts him on horseback leading a charge, a scene likely inspired by the artist's own experience as a soldier in the Danish army. These medallions were often made for the elite, commemorating significant events in history and personal victories.
