This silver medal, created by Dutch artist Theodorus Casparus van Berckel between 1714 and 1720, commemorates the city of 's-Hertogenbosch. The obverse features a depiction of the city with a female figure representing peace, while the reverse portrays the city's town hall and a parade. This small, detailed medal, measuring only 2.7 cm in diameter, showcases van Berckel's mastery of engraving and his dedication to capturing the essence of the city's history and identity. The medal is a testament to the rich artistic tradition of the Netherlands during the Baroque period.
