Begrafenis van Willem IV, penning uitgedeeld aan de leden van de Delftse schutterij 1752

This silver medal, designed by Dutch artist Nicolaas van Swinderen in 1752, commemorates the funeral of Willem IV, the Prince of Orange. The obverse depicts a funeral bier beneath a canopy, while the reverse features a procession of soldiers in front of the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft. These commemorative medals were likely distributed to members of the Delft militia, serving as a lasting tribute to the deceased prince. The medal's small size, measuring only 3.7 cm in diameter, makes it a delicate and intimate object of remembrance.
