Overlijden van Betje Wolff en Aagje Deken 1804

This silver medal, created by Johan George Holtzhey in 1804, commemorates the deaths of Dutch writers Betje Wolff and Aagje Deken. The obverse depicts the two women standing side-by-side, holding books and a quill, symbolizing their literary legacy. The reverse features an inscription in Latin that translates to "Elisabeth and Agatha, born Wolff and Deken, died in the year 1804." This medal, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the enduring impact of these two prominent figures in Dutch literature.
