Looks like the inscription on the obv is: QVEM DAS FINEM REX MAGNE LABORVM EVROPA PERTVRBATA MDC IIIC Or "King, to what end will you give to our labor?" I wonder about the date though--is it 1603?

Not the most common way to write Roman numerals, but not unheard of. Cannot say anything about the medal itself though - interesting piece. Report this Post to the Staff
