This 1562 bronze medal, "Voorspelling van komend onheil, penning geslagen door de Staten van Zeeland," is a historical artifact that depicts the impending doom of the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule. The front of the medal features a boat in stormy seas with figures within, while the back depicts a sea monster with its tail in a knot, a possible warning sign of the uprising. The medal is 3 centimeters in diameter and is a powerful reminder of the turbulent times in 16th century Netherlands.
