Silver. Size 2·7. Repoussé and chased. By Pieter van Abeele.[12]
[12] Pieter van Abeele lived at Amsterdam, and was probably a pupil of
Jerian Pool. Van Abeele's most famous work is a medal in commemoration
of the granting of arms to the city of Amsterdam in 1342 and 1488.
He also executed medals for William II. and III. of Orange, Gustavus
Adolphus, &c. His medals are of repoussé work and chased, the two sides
being united by a rim.
This medal consists of two plates united by rim, and was executed by
Peter van Abeele, during the residence of Charles in Holland.
