Expansie van de zeevaart in de Westfriese steden 1596

"Expansie van de zeevaart in de Westfriese steden" is a silver medal created by Paulus van Wtewael in 1596. The medal depicts a scene of a ship sailing on the sea, symbolizing the expansion of maritime trade in the West Frisian cities. The reverse side of the medal features the coat of arms of the city of Hoorn, a key center for maritime trade in the region. This small but detailed work of art captures the spirit of Dutch maritime expansion in the late 16th century.
