Habsburg Netherlands. Margaret of Parma — FAVENTE DEO. Undated portrait medal after a design of 1567 by Jacques Jonghelinck.
Obverse: Bust of Margaret of Austria, Duchess of Parma and Piacenza, facing right, wearing a veiled headdress, a ruff, an elaborately decorated gown and a chain with a pendant cross. The surrounding Latin legend names her and identifies her as governor of the Netherlands.
Reverse: An armoured female figure standing on a rock amid a stormy sea, holding an upright sword and branches. Four personifications of the winds blow towards her. A fortified town and a small vessel appear at the left, with buildings and a landscape at the right.
Legend: FAVENTE DEO — “With God’s favour.”
Margaret of Parma, daughter of Emperor Charles V and half-sister of Philip II, governed the Netherlands from 1559 to 1567. The reverse allegory has been interpreted as an expression of her steadfastness amid the political and religious upheavals of her government, with the vessel representing the ship of state.
The design is represented in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, inventory NG-VG-1-352. That museum example is silver, measures 61 mm and bears additional age and date inscriptions. These are not clearly discernible on the present specimen.
Type reference: Smolderen, Jonghelinck 56.
The precise production date of this example has not been established.
Weight: 51.5 g.
Diameter: 55.8 mm.
