This silver medal, created by Dutch artist Jan Daniel Posthumus in 1872, commemorates the 300th anniversary of the capture of Brielle by William the Silent, Prince of Orange-Nassau. The obverse of the medal features William the Silent, while the reverse depicts the Dutch goddess of freedom holding a flag emblazoned with "Pro Libertate" and a sword, symbolizing victory and independence. The medal's intricate detail and historical significance make it a valuable example of 19th-century commemorative art.
