This 1874 commemorative medal, created by an anonymous artist, celebrates the 25th anniversary of King Willem III’s reign in the Netherlands. The front of the medal features a portrait of Willem III with allegorical figures representing "Peace" and "Justice" standing on either side. The back of the medal features an inscription in Dutch that translates to, "For Ingram Forest from the House of Orange Nassau, offered by King Willem III on his 25th Anniversary." The medal, now in the Rijksmuseum, was awarded during a celebratory event in Amsterdam. The medal is an excellent example of Dutch commemorative art from the 19th century, and is a testament to the enduring popularity of the House of Orange.
