This 1778 silver medal, created by Dutch artist Gijsbert van Moelingen, commemorates the 100th birthday of Pietertje Breedveld. The obverse depicts a female figure, likely representing Peace, holding a book and a wreath, standing on a globe and surrounded by allegorical symbols. The reverse features an inscription in Dutch, commemorating Breedveld’s longevity. This small, but detailed, medal demonstrates van Moelingen's skill in capturing symbolic imagery in miniature.
