Johannes Richardot, secretaris van de geheime raad 1614

This small, silver medal, created in 1614 by Jean de Montfort, honors Johannes Richardot, the secretary of the secret council. The obverse features a profile portrait of Richardot, while the reverse depicts an owl perched on a branch. Owls are often associated with wisdom and knowledge, likely a nod to Richardot's role as a trusted advisor. The medal's small size suggests it may have been intended for personal use as a memento or a symbol of Richardot's achievements.
