Nederlandse zeevaart en scheepsbouw, ter ere van Willem III, koning der Nederlanden 1849

This 1849 bronze medal, created by Dutch artist David van der Kellen, celebrates the Dutch King Willem III and the country's maritime prowess. One side features the King's profile, while the other depicts a man saluting a ship and a variety of nautical symbols, including a cannon and a globe. This medal, a fine example of 19th-century Dutch commemorative art, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The small size and intricate detail make it a testament to the skill of the medalist.
