Huwelijk van Lodewijk XIV en Maria Theresia, koning en koningin van Frankrijk 1661

This small, bronze medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1661, commemorates the marriage of Louis XIV, King of France, to Maria Theresa of Spain. The medal features a profile portrait of the royal couple on one side and the date and an image of two hands clasped together on the other. It's a remarkable piece of numismatic art from the era of the Sun King, highlighting his reign and the significance of this royal marriage. The medal is a small but important example of how art was used to celebrate historical events and solidify royal power.
