This bronze commemorative coin, created in 1506, is a small, yet poignant tribute to Philip the Handsome, Duke of Burgundy. The coin's obverse depicts a crowned figure of the Duke, while the reverse features his coat of arms, likely intended to honor his legacy. Such commemorative coins were a popular way to honor monarchs and other figures of importance, and this piece offers a unique glimpse into the artistic practices of the early 16th century.
