Vergaan van de Spaanse armada 1588

This silver medal, created in 1588 by an anonymous artist, commemorates the defeat of the Spanish Armada. The obverse depicts two ships battling on the sea, a visual representation of the English victory against the Spanish fleet. The reverse features a coat of arms, possibly a symbol of the Dutch Republic, which played a pivotal role in the Spanish Armada's downfall. This small but significant medal, measuring just 3.2 centimeters in diameter, is a poignant reminder of the historic event.
