I found your article while doing a search on a silver medal I have. I am not a coin collector and I have come across this medal in my grandfathers estate.

When I researched the medal I found it in the book titled "The Dutch Republic 17th Century-the Golden Age", on page 155. It offers some interesting history of the medal, as it was given to civic militiamen to celebrate the end of the Undertakers riots of 1696.

Would you be kind enough to direct me to where I might find its value? I did attend a coin show locally, but they were not able to help.

Thank you for your time.

"This interesting type comes in a few different sizes (~40mm, ~50mm, & ~60mm), and by a few different engravers all following the same overall design but varying ever so slightly in style. Though size isn't mentioned, this one would appear to be the largest of the three sizes and by Luder (his name appearing below the roman numeral date on the reverse). Values can be all over the place given the variety of sizes and the conditions in which they can be found, ranging from $100-150 for more common ones with some handling and marks to as much as $1,000 or more for lesser seen ones in conditions approaching Mint State. This one is likely in the middle of those two extremes—being one of the more difficult to encounter but also displaying some scattered marks and light handling."
