This medal is struck; its object is sufficiently explained by
the long inscription upon the reverse. The obverse denotes
that England and Holland were in future to divide the dominion
of the sea between them.

This is an engraved medal, and therefore probably unique.
The persons recorded on the reverse, who were at the time of
the peace Burgomasters of Sluys, doubtless caused this commemorative
medal to be executed. Van de Perre, a representative
of the States of Zealand, in which province Sluys is
situated, was one of the ambassadors appointed to carry out the
negotiations for the treaty.
