Slag bij Malplaquet 1709

This silver medal, created by Georg Friedrich Nuernberger in 1709, commemorates the Battle of Malplaquet. The obverse depicts a triumphant figure of the Sun God, Sol, driving his chariot across the heavens. The reverse depicts a mountain with a fortress atop it, representing the battlefield. The inscription surrounding the image of the mountain reads "SOL AUT INVICTA VIREA ET MONTES VIREANT AVRVS", translating to "The sun shall be invincible in its power, and the mountains will grow green with gold." The medal serves as a testament to the victory of the allied forces at the Battle of Malplaquet.
