This silver medal, created by Johannes Drappentier, likely between 1719 and 1734, features a depiction of the city of 's-Gravenhage (The Hague) on one side and two allegorical figures representing Justice and Strength on the other. The inscription on the side with the cityscape reads "D[E]BITAS COMM[UNI]NING PATRUM/ORA[TI]A RE[G]UL[I]DENS/H[OM]MA[NIS] B[AE]SVICTORIA/PRIM[A]S C[IV]I[T].," which translates to "The just will of the council of the city/Granted by the ruler,/To human beings, the victory/Of first citizen". This medal serves as a testament to the city's strength and prosperity during the 18th century.
