Besluit van de landdag van de Staten van Friesland, betreffende het aanvaarden van John Adams als gezant van de Verenigde Staten van Amerika en het afwijzen van een afzonderlijke vrede met Engeland 1782

This silver medal, created by Dutch artist Barend Christiaan van Calker in 1782, commemorates the decision of the Frisian States to accept John Adams as the envoy of the United States and reject a separate peace with England. The obverse depicts three figures: a woman representing Frisia, John Adams, and a winged figure symbolizing peace. The reverse features the coat of arms of Friesland, a Latin inscription detailing the event, and the artist's name. This historical medal highlights the significance of the Frisian decision to support the American Revolution and its influence on international relations in the late 18th century.
