Overlijden van de muntverzamelaar Cornelis Nicolai 1698

This silver commemorative medal, created in 1698 by Dutch artist Jan Boskam, commemorates the death of coin collector Cornelis Nicolai. The obverse of the medal depicts a scene of two allegorical figures, likely representing Virtue and Time, flanking an inscription that details Nicolai's life and death. The reverse features a coat of arms and the inscription "Occidit Mvltis Ille Efibilis Bonis" ("He died, mourned by many, he was worthy of praise"). The medal is a testament to Boskam's skill in producing intricate and detailed relief sculptures.
