This silver medal, created by Johan George Holtzhey in 1792, depicts the "Ridderlijke Confrerie van de Handbussche te Delft" (The Chivalrous Confraternity of Handgunners of Delft). The front showcases a female figure representing the Confraternity, holding a musket and resting on a shield, embodying strength and skill. The reverse features a winged figure, signifying victory and awards, standing amidst various symbols related to the Confraternity's activities. This small but intricate medal, held in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the Dutch artistry and craftsmanship of the 18th century.
