etherlands. Nine medals – Royal stained-glass windows of Orange-Nassau and the liberation of Wageningen – translucent glass inserts, 50 mm Collection of nine medals from Edel Collecties’ “De Koninklijke Kerkramen van Oranje-Nassau” series, comprising six silver-plated examples and three gold-plated Premium editions. The central feature is the coloured glass inset into each medal. When held against a light source or illuminated from behind, light passes through the window, revealing its colours and details with a striking stained-glass effect. The photographs show this transmitted-light effect, which is much less apparent when the medals are viewed against a dark background.

Subjects include William I of Orange, Louis of Nassau, Charles V, Philip II, and Luther and Calvin.
