Overlijden van Gijsbert Voetius, hoogleraar te Utrecht en lid van de synode van Dordrecht 1676

This silver commemorative medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1676, memorializes the death of Gijsbert Voetius, a prominent Dutch theologian and professor. The inscription on the medal details Voetius's accomplishments, including his role as a professor at the University of Utrecht and his participation in the Synod of Dort. The medal's small size and weight suggest it was likely intended for personal use or commemoration within a specific circle of Voetius's contemporaries. This medal, though simple in its design, serves as a valuable artifact of 17th-century Dutch history and culture.
