Vroedschapspenning van de stad 's-Hertogenbosch 1704

This silver medal, created by Theodorus Casparus van Berckel in 1704, depicts the coat of arms of 's-Hertogenbosch, a city in the Netherlands. Surrounding the coat of arms is the Latin inscription "Vincit Amor Silvae," meaning "Love Conquers the Forest." The medal is a small, detailed piece measuring just 2.7 centimeters in diameter, weighing 7 grams. It is a striking example of the artistry of medal making in the early 18th century. The medal is likely a "vroedschapspenning," which is a type of commemorative medal awarded to members of the city council. It serves as a testament to the city's history and its civic pride.
