Slag bij Castricum, penning door het gezelschap "Tot nut van het vaderland" aan generaal Brune vereerd 1799

This silver medal, created in 1799 by an anonymous artist, commemorates the Battle of Castricum, a pivotal moment in the Dutch Revolt. The medal, measuring 4.2 cm in diameter, depicts a laurel wreath encircling a sunburst with the inscription "Contre Les Tyrans," highlighting the fight against tyranny. The reverse side of the medal is dedicated to General Guillaume Brune, who played a significant role in the victory, with the inscription "A Brune, le Heros De Castricum." This medal, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, serves as a poignant reminder of a significant historical event and the heroism of its participants.
