This ambitious translation makes this important work more accessible to English readers. It provides the historical context for the events commemorated and describes each medal and its iconography in detail. Since the history of the Low Countries of this period is so strongly connected to that of other countries, including those of the New World, this work is an important resource for collectors and scholars with a broader interest in the medals of this period. $260. Price includes shipping within the United States. These books are heavy, so the shipping cost overseas will be high. Overseas buyers, please request the shipping cost before placing an order.
