This silver medal by Georg Wilhelm Vestner, a prominent medallist of the 18th century, depicts a commemorative scene. One side portrays King Christian IV of Denmark and Frederick, Count Palatine of the Rhine and Duke of Bavaria, leaving the University of Leiden, a significant event in their respective journeys. The reverse side features an allegorical representation of the university, personified by a seated figure, surrounded by symbolic motifs signifying academic excellence and knowledge. This medal serves as a visual testament to the historical event and the importance of education in 18th-century Europe.
