Getting started with the collection:
Departure of the Spanish Duke of Alba from the Netherlands
anoniem, 1573
Commemorating Dutch liberty. Many medals were made to commemorate important events or people. The Dutch revolt against the Spanish king that began in 1568 and the ups and downs of the independent Dutch Republic, which existed from 1588, were ample reasons for striking medals.
