Overwinning van Karel V op het Schmalkaldisch verbond 1546

This silver medal, created in 1546 by an anonymous artist, commemorates the victory of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, over the Schmalkaldic League. The front of the medal displays the double-headed eagle of the Holy Roman Empire, while the reverse features a coat of arms with the date of the battle, November 24, 1546. This small, detailed work (measuring just 4.2 cm in diameter) is a significant historical artifact housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing insights into the complex political landscape of 16th-century Europe.
