Oprichting van de Nederlandsche Weerbaarheidsbond, ter ere van Willem III, koning der Nederlanden 1869

This bronze medal, created by Johan Philip Menger in 1869, commemorates the establishment of the Dutch Defense Bond in honor of King Willem III. One side features a profile portrait of the King, while the other depicts a female figure representing the Netherlands, holding a flag and standing atop a platform built by workers. This commemorative medal, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artistic tradition of medal-making in the 19th century, often used to celebrate historical events and prominent figures.
