This silver medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1787, commemorates Hendrik Danielsz. Hooft, the mayor of Amsterdam. The obverse features a detailed portrait of Hooft, while the reverse depicts a symbolic image with the Dutch inscription "DOOD OF VRY" meaning "death or freedom." The medal, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the tradition of commemorative medals in Dutch art and offers insight into the political and social landscape of 18th century Amsterdam.
