"Penning op Middelburgs nieuwe haven" is a drawing by Johannes Hubertus Reygers, created in 1817. The artwork depicts two medal designs. One side portrays ships entering Middelburg's new harbor with a caption describing its opening in 1817. The other side shows a seated female figure with a crown representing "Vrouwe van Middelburgs nieuwe haven" or "Lady of Middelburg's new harbor." This work is a significant example of Dutch medal design from the early 19th century.
