Op de algemene wapening van Noord-Nederland na de afval van de Zuidelijke Provinciën 1831

This bronze medal, created in 1831 by David van der Kellen, commemorates the Dutch victory against the Spanish in the Eighty Years' War. The obverse features a profile portrait of William I, Prince of Orange, the leader of the Dutch resistance. The reverse shows a figure of Holland, a woman wearing a helmet, planting a laurel branch on a monument inscribed with "FOR THE LIBERTY OF THE NETHERLANDS." This work of art, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical artifact, providing insights into the Dutch national identity and the significance of the struggle for independence.
