Moord op de gebroeders de Witt 1672

This silver medal, created by the anonymous artist Monogrammist IVR in 1672, depicts the assassination of the De Witt brothers. The obverse shows a chariot carrying the brothers, pulled by four men. Above them hangs a banner with the inscription "Praecipue pro iustitia et libertate, Deo duce, in duas partes divisae" (Especially for justice and liberty, led by God, divided into two parts). The reverse of the medal features a text inscribed in Dutch, a poignant reminder of the tragic event. This small but powerful artwork serves as a historical document, capturing the political turmoil of 17th-century Holland.
