This silver medal, created by Dutch artist Johan George Holtzhey in 1765, depicts Carolina, Princess of Orange-Nassau. The obverse features a bust portrait of the princess, while the reverse displays the coat of arms of the Friesland province, surrounded by the coats of arms of the cities of Friesland. The medal was likely commissioned by the province as a token of respect for the princess, highlighting her role in Dutch society and the importance of the Friesland region. The medal, measuring 3.8 cm in diameter, is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, showcasing the artistic and historical significance of Dutch medal-making.
