Overwinning van Frederik II van Pruisen op de Oostenrijkers bij Praag 1757

This bronze medal, created by Johan George Holtzhey in 1757, commemorates the Prussian victory over the Austrians at the Battle of Prague during the Seven Years' War. The obverse of the medal depicts Frederick II, King of Prussia, in profile, while the reverse shows a winged figure representing Victory, crowning Frederick and a kneeling figure representing Austria. This medal, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a striking example of how medals were used in the 18th century to celebrate military victories and political events.
