Tweehonderdste verjaardag van het ontzet van Vlissingen, penning geslagen op last van de stad Vlissingen 1772

This silver medal, created by Dutch artist Theodorus Victor van Berckel in 1772, commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Siege of Flushing, a pivotal event in Dutch history. The obverse features a commemorative monument overlooking the city of Flushing, while the reverse depicts allegorical figures representing the city's resilience and triumph. The medal's inscription in Latin, "ET SPONTE ET FELICITER," translates to "Both willingly and successfully," a testament to the city's spirit during the siege. This small, yet significant, work of art serves as a reminder of the city's historical importance and the enduring spirit of its people.
