This silver medal, created in 1767 by Johan George Holtzhey, commemorates the 25th wedding anniversary of Pieter Volmer and Antje Grevingh. The obverse features a figure of Hymenaios, the Greek god of marriage, holding a torch and a crown while Cupid, the Roman god of love, points at the couple's initials. The reverse side contains an inscription that celebrates the couple's enduring love and prosperity. This commemorative piece is an example of 18th-century Dutch medallic art, a medium that was often used to celebrate significant events and individuals.
