| Netherlands, Dordrecht copper jeton 1596, Vigilance Trojan Horse Watchtower, 28.5mm, 6.1g. A jeton of the Dutch Republic with its fascinating imagry with the watchful sentry in tower obverse, and reverse the Trojan Horse in the square of the burning city surrounded by men in battle. Dutch vigilance against Spanish perfidy, the piece comments on the Emperor spurning Dutch offers of mediation and breaking of the peace. EF for type and choice (top grade). Rare in this condition. |
