This silver medal, created by Daniel Friedrich Loos in 1805, commemorates the centenary of the "Maison d'Orange" in Prussia, a refuge for those fleeing religious persecution in the Principality of Orange. The obverse features King Frederick William III and Queen Louise of Prussia, symbolizing their charitable support of the refugees. The reverse inscription, "Les Orangeois réfugiés en mémoire des bienfaits de la Grande Bretagne et de la Prusse," acknowledges the contributions of both Great Britain and Prussia in aiding these displaced individuals. This small-scale work, a prime example of commemorative medal art, reflects the historical significance of the event and the importance of religious tolerance and humanitarianism.
