Aanvang van het jaar 1760 1760

This silver medal, created by Dutch medallist Johan George Holtzhey in 1760, features a depiction of a seated figure holding a scepter and a cornucopia. The reverse side of the medal showcases a cloud formation above a landscape, perhaps symbolizing a significant event of the time. The inscription "Aanvang van het jaar 1760" suggests the medal commemorates the beginning of the year, possibly referencing a significant event or historical figure of that era. The medal, a testament to Holtzhey's artistry, is a small but intricate work that offers a glimpse into 18th-century Dutch medal making.
