This small, bronze coin, created in 1674 by an anonymous artist, commemorates the recapture of Besançon by the French during the Franco-Dutch War. One side features a portrait of King Louis XIV of France, while the reverse depicts a city, likely Besançon, surrounded by water. This coin is a significant historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the political and military events of the 17th century, and is part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
