EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of medals commemorating the historic defeat of the Spanish Armada. Created by an English School in the 19th century, these intricately engraved medals are now held in a private collection. The image is part of an illustration for "The Popular History of England" by Charles Macfarlane and Thomas Archer, published by Blackie in 1886. These medals serve as tangible reminders of one of England's greatest military victories. They symbolize the triumph over Spain's formidable naval fleet during the late 16th century. Queen Elizabeth I played a crucial role in this victory, and her gold medal stands out among the silver ones on display. Notably, some jettons from Middelburg are also included in this assortment. These silver coins were minted in Holland and further emphasize the international significance of this event. The defeat of the Spanish Armada had far-reaching consequences across Europe, particularly for Germany and its northern regions. This engraving offers viewers a glimpse into history, showcasing not only significant artifacts but also shedding light on cultural exchanges between nations during that time period. It serves as a testament to both English pride and European unity – reminding us that historical events can shape our present-day understanding and appreciation for diverse cultures within Europe.
