Herstel van de vrede in Duitsland op het Interim van Augsburg, rekenpenning ten behoeve van Mr. Vincent Dammasz., klerk-ordinaris van de rekenkamer van Holland te 's-Gravenhage 1548

This small, round, 16th-century medal, known as a rekenpenning, commemorates the Peace of Augsburg in 1548. The medal depicts the profile of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, on one side, and a depiction of the city of Augsburg with the inscription "RESTITVTIO PACIS IN GERMANIA" (Restoration of Peace in Germany) on the other. This small token was likely made for Vincent Dammasz, a clerk in the Dutch counting house, who was possibly involved in the peace negotiations. While the artist remains anonymous, this medal is a fascinating glimpse into the religious and political events of 16th-century Europe.
