This bronze medal, created in 1691 by Dutch artist Jan (I) Luder, commemorates the relief of the city of Cuneo (Coni) during the Franco-Dutch War. The obverse depicts Willem III, Prince of Orange, leader of the Congress of The Hague, in a bust portrait. The reverse showcases an allegorical scene with figures representing the city of Cuneo receiving support from Willem III. The medal's small size and intricate detail exemplify the artistry of the Dutch medallic tradition, which flourished in the 17th and 18th centuries.
