Verheffing van de prins van Oranje tot stadhouder door de Staten van Zeeland 1747

"Verheffing van de prins van Oranje tot stadhouder door de Staten van Zeeland" is a silver medal created in 1747 by Dutch artist Martin Holtzhey. The medal depicts a female figure, likely representing the Dutch Republic, standing with a sword and shield, and wearing a helmet and breastplate. The inscription "TERRA MARIQUE" ("On land and at sea"), along with the imagery, suggests the strength and power of the Republic. The medal likely commemorates the appointment of William IV, Prince of Orange, as Stadtholder of Zeeland, a significant event in Dutch history.
