Geboorte van Frederik Lodewijk van Pruisen 1707

"Geboorte van Frederik Lodewijk van Pruisen" is a silver medal created in 1707 by Heinrich Friedrich Halter, a German medalist. The medal depicts a classical figure, likely Mars, the Roman god of war, standing with a sword and a city in the background, symbolizing the strength and growth of Prussia. On the reverse side, an inscription in Latin celebrates the birth of Frederick Louis, Prince of Prussia. This commemorative medal is a fine example of the use of classical imagery in early 18th century medallic art, a period marked by a resurgence of interest in the art of ancient Rome.
