This small, circular, bronze medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1597, commemorates the victory of the Dutch forces over the Spanish at Turnhout. The obverse depicts the coat of arms of the Netherlands. The reverse features an inscription in Latin that translates to "To the most invincible, most serene, most powerful prince, Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange, the very brave leader of the army, under whose leadership, the Spaniards were driven from the Alpine region, Moers, and the Rhine in the year 1597." This medal, a testament to the Dutch resistance against Spain, is an example of commemorative art.
