Medal commemorating the Battle of the Four Days, 1666. Obverse: A general in Roman dress caressing a lion; he holds a sceptre to which is attached the shield of Amsterdam and a laurel wreath, a view of Amsterdam in the distance. Legend: 'Manhafticheyt beschermt het landt en leyt de bloetsucht aen den bant' (Valour protects the country, and overcomes the lust of blood). Reverse: Inscription: 'Toen Munster week en Carels kielen vloon liet Vander Wey. dees silvre stemqel smede. Man (sic) haftigheyt verdient een lauwer Croon, Hytemt de leew ontbloot van regt, en rede de Burgren moet bevryt de vrye staat wie moet ontbreeckt was nimmer goet soldaat. 1666' (When Munster yielded, and the ships of Charles fled Vander Wey had this silver medal made. Valour deserves the laurel crown; it tames the lion, devoid of justice and reason. The valour of citizens frees the State; but he who lacks courage is never a good soldier).
