by Unknown artist

This is a rare example of a medal commissioned by Leicester to distribute among his followers and expresses his displeasure at having to depart from the Netherlands. The reverse shows a sheepdog leaving his flock with inscriptions that can be translated as 'Unwillingly I forsake ... not the flock, but the unthankfull.'
