"Battle of Nieuport" silver Medal 1600 AU, Eimer-72, MI-I-174/171. 55mm. Edge plain. By G. van Bijlaer. A truly wonderful specimen! Produced to celebrate Prince Maurice's victory over the Spaniards and amazing in hand, it is hard to believe that this large-size piece has survived for over 400 years with such abundant silvery luster and so much remaining detail. The edge has encountered some bumps (particularly one at 11 o'clock on the obverse), but otherwise the piece is unmarred, fully-rendered with a blazing red-and-yellow tone to the obverse and near-full luster to the reverse. Viewing in person is recommended to achieve the full effect of this gorgeous offering.
