Engels-Franse oorlog, penning van de rekenkamer van Vlaanderen te Rijssel, ter ere van Karel V, Duits keizer 1543 - 1546

This 16th-century silver coin, "Engels-Franse oorlog," commemorates the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. Made by an anonymous artist, the coin features a profile of Charles V on one side, and a scene of a battle, likely the Battle of St. Quentin fought in 1557, on the other. The coin was created by the Chamber of Accounts of Flanders in Lille, showcasing the influence and power of Charles V. It is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands.
