Overlijden van Willem IV 1751

"Overlijden van Willem IV" is a silver medal created in 1751 by the Dutch medallist Nicolaas van Swinderen. It commemorates the death of William IV, Prince of Orange, who died in 1751. The obverse of the medal features a coat of arms and the motto "CONCORDIA RES PARVA CRESCWNT" ("In unity, small things grow"). The reverse depicts an obelisk with the inscription "VIX.CON.SPECTVS" ("He is scarcely seen").
