Honderdjarige herdenking van de geboorte van Willem van Oranje 1933 1933

This bronze medal, created by M.P.J. Fleur in 1933, commemorates the 100th anniversary of the birth of Willem van Oranje, also known as William the Silent, a significant figure in Dutch history. The medal features a detailed portrait of William, showcasing his distinguished features, including his characteristic beard and ruff collar. The inscription surrounding the portrait in Dutch reads "Willem Prins van Oranje Graaf van Nassau" (Willem Prince of Orange Count of Nassau). This small-scale, highly detailed piece is a prime example of commemorative medal art, a genre that celebrates historical figures and events.
