This 16th-century bronze medal depicts King Philip II of Spain, a significant figure in European history. The medal's obverse features a profile portrait of the king within a laurel wreath, while the reverse showcases a temple inscribed with the Latin word "PIETAS," signifying piety or religious devotion. This medal, likely a commemorative piece, highlights the importance of religious faith during Philip II's reign. The Rijksmuseum houses this small yet historically significant work of art.
