About the Item

Obverse: .BREDA . OBSESSA . 1625, coat of arms of prince Maurits, value above, rosette underneath, left and right city crest Reverse: blank RARE During the Eighty Years' War, Breda was besieged in 1624 and 1625 by Spanish troops led by Ambrogio Spinola. Conquest of Breda would provide the Spaniards with a base to more easily conquer other States cities. Spinola surprised by besieging the city late in the season. Prince Maurits, and later his successor Frederik Hendrik, came to Breda's aid. However, their efforts came to naught and the city had to surrender after an 11-month siege on June 2, 1625 due to hopelessness and lack of food.
