The obverse depicts a rocky island fortress rising from turbulent seas beneath dramatic storm clouds, with a heraldic shield below and the Latin motto \u003cem\u003eNon Laedor Ali Dor\u003c\/em\u003e — \"I am not harmed, I am nourished by it\" — encircling the design within a fine beaded border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse captures the chaos of the defeated Spanish Armada — dozens of ships scattered across stormy seas — beneath the triumphant inscription \u003cem\u003eFlavit Et Dissipati Sunt 1588\u003c\/em\u003e: \"He blew and they were scattered, 1588.\" These words, referencing the great storm that destroyed the Armada, became one of the most celebrated phrases in European naval history. This piece is a British-Dutch historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Armada Medal was struck in the Netherlands in 1588 to commemorate the defeat of the Spanish Armada — the failed invasion fleet sent by King Philip II of Spain against Elizabethan England. The storm that scattered and destroyed much of the fleet was seen as divine intervention by both the English and their Dutch allies. Medals like this were produced across England and the Dutch Republic to mark the victory, making them among the earliest examples of commemorative medallic art in the Western world. This 40mm replica faithfully reproduces the extraordinary detail of the original, making it a centrepiece piece for any historical coin collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e✔ Free worldwide shipping   ✔ Secure checkout   ✔ Securely packaged for safe arrival\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Island fortress obverse \/ Scattered Armada fleet reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscription:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non Laedor Ali Dor \/ Flavit Et Dissipati Sunt 1588\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copper with silver plating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Securely packaged, ready for display or gifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCollectors of British and Dutch historical coins\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTudor, Elizabethan and Spanish Armada history enthusiasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNaval history and maritime collections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDisplay in coin cabinets, shadow boxes, or collector trays\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnique gift for history lovers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree worldwide tracked shipping.
