Stillen van het aansprekersoproer te Amsterdam, penning aan de gewapende burgers vereerd 1696

This silver medal, created by Reynier Arondeaux in 1696, commemorates the quelling of a revolt in Amsterdam. The obverse depicts Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, standing on a seahorse-drawn chariot and raising his trident. This imagery symbolizes the restoration of order and peace. The reverse features a sun rising over the sea, with a boat and a banner displaying a Latin inscription praising the courage of the Amsterdam citizens who helped quell the uprising. This medal, measuring only 3.8 cm in diameter, is a small yet significant piece of art that captures a pivotal moment in Dutch history.
