This silver medal, designed by Dutch artist Theodorus Victor van Berckel in 1774, commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Siege of Leiden. The obverse features a personification of the city of Leiden, seated on a lion and holding a shield with the city's coat of arms. The reverse depicts a woman symbolizing the city, holding a torch towards a pedestal inscribed "DEO" and "PROPAGNATORI" (to God, the Defender). The medal's inscription, "Secundo Libertatis Leidensis Jubilaeo MDCCLXXIV" translates to "The Second Jubilee of the Freedom of Leiden, 1774."
