This silver medal, created in 1747 by an anonymous artist, commemorates the appointment of the Prince of Orange as Stadtholder. The obverse of the medal features a coat of arms, while the reverse is inscribed with a Latin text detailing the event and the individuals involved. This small yet intricately detailed piece serves as a historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the Dutch Republic's political landscape during the 18th century. The medal, with its inscription and visual imagery, is a valuable historical object for those interested in the Netherlands' past, particularly the role of the Stadtholders in shaping the country's history.
