This anonymous 1814 engraving depicts two coins minted to commemorate the inauguration of Willem Frederik, Prince of Orange, as sovereign ruler. The coins feature a profile portrait of Willem Frederik on the left and a depiction of the Amsterdam city arms on the right. These commemorative coins, known as "strooipenning" (literally "scattering coins"), were distributed to the public during the festivities. They served as a physical reminder of the important historical event and a symbol of the new reign.
