NETHERLANDS. Dutch Republic. Siege and Capture of 's-Hertogenbosch Silver Medal, 1629. NGC MS-62.
Van Loon-II, pp. 180/178. By W. Versteegh. Diameter: 57mm. Obverse: Frederik Hendrik on horse rearing left; town view in background at a distance; Reverse: Bird's eye view of the fortress under siege. VERY RARE and impressive, especially so alluring and attractive, this exceptionally bold medallic issue sports a rather deep cabinet tone that reveals a subtle iridescence shimmering in the protected areas. The horseman on the obverse is refined and quite bold, while the overhead view of the siege in action is immensely intricated and detailed, leaving the viewer to stumble upon a new aspect each time this majestic specimen is inspected and adored.
Estimate: $4000 - $6000
