Erepennimng voor de Oorlog op Java 1825-1830 1830

This bronze medal, designed by David van der Kellen in 1830, commemorates the Dutch colonial war in Java (1825-1830). The medal, featuring a portrait of King William I on one side and an inscription referencing the war on the other, is a powerful reminder of a turbulent period in Dutch history and their colonial involvement. The medal, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable artifact for understanding the history of Dutch colonialism and its impact on Java.
