Voorgenomen onthulling van het monument ter nagedachtenis aan Adolf, graaf van Nassau en de slag bij Heiligerlee, penning ter ere van Willem III, koning der Nederlanden 1872

This commemorative medal, created by Salomon de Vries in 1872, celebrates King Willem III of the Netherlands. The obverse features a profile portrait of the King, while the reverse displays a complex composition of coats of arms and the dates 1568 and 1872. The medal likely commemorates a historical event, perhaps the unveiling of a monument to Adolf, Count of Nassau. This historical context, combined with the symbolic imagery of the coats of arms and dates, suggests a strong sense of national pride and historical commemoration.
