Willem Frederik, prins van Oranje-Nassau, souverein vorst 1813

This small, oval-shaped medal, made of lead, depicts Willem Frederik, Prince of Orange-Nassau, Sovereign Prince, in profile. The medal, likely produced in 1813, features the prince's portrait cut into the metal with an inscription around the edge. The delicate detail of the artwork makes it clear that this is more than just a functional piece; it was likely intended as a commemorative object, expressing admiration for the prince during his reign. While the artist remains anonymous, the medal is a testament to the craftsmanship of the time and the importance of such figures in Dutch history. The medal is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
