Geboorte van Willem Frederik, erfprins van Oranje-Nassau 1772

Theodoros Victor van Berckel's "Geboorte van Willem Frederik, erfprins van Oranje-Nassau" is a commemorative medal created in 1772. The medal, measuring only 4.3 centimeters in diameter, features a design depicting an angel presenting the infant prince to a female figure representing the Dutch Republic. On the reverse side, "Securitas Reipublicae" (Security of the Republic) is inscribed around a figure sitting upon a pedestal holding the Dutch coat of arms, symbolizing the security of the nation under the rule of the new heir. This small, detailed medal is a testament to the importance of the birth of the prince, the future King Willem I, to the Dutch people.
