Tweede eeuwfeest van de Reformatie, gevierd te Weimar 1717

This silver medal, created by an unknown artist in 1717, commemorates the bicentennial of the Protestant Reformation. The obverse depicts a symbolic representation of the Reformation with a lit torch rising from an open book and angels holding rays of light. The reverse of the medal features an inscription commemorating the event, “In memory of the second Jubilee of the Evangelical Church, celebrated in the year 1717.” This small but significant object, now held in the Rijksmuseum, served as a tangible reminder of a pivotal moment in religious history.
