Pianura
This medal commemorates one of the longest sea battles in history, The Four Days Battle, one of the major events of the Second Anglo Dutch War (1665-1667). It went on, in some ways inconclusively, until the British fleet managed to sail away into a fog bank: both sides claimed victory, but the British were definitely bested. In the end, however, the battle had no long term effect. The poem on the reverse was written by Joost van den Vondel (1587-1679), the most prominent Dutch writer of the age.
