This small, circular medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1598, is a commemorative piece depicting a historical event: the Dutch victory over the Spanish forces led by Mendoza at Doesburg. The obverse features a detailed scene with the town's fortress, soldiers, and a depiction of the commander Maurits. On the reverse, a winged figure representing Victory, is surrounded by soldiers and a caption in Latin that translates to "Victory through God and Security." This small but powerful medal is a testament to the Dutch victory and the role of God in their success.
