Inname van Ofen door Leopold I 1686

This silver medal commemorates the capture of Buda, the capital of Hungary, by Leopold I in 1686. Created by an anonymous artist, the medal depicts the coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire, a symbol of Leopold I’s authority. The reverse side features an inscription in Latin, celebrating the victory. This small, but significant work of art, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, reflects the historical importance of this event in European history.
