Vroedschapspenning van de stad Delft Possibly 1779

This small, silver medal, created by Dutch medalist Barend Hendrik Thier in 1779, depicts the coat of arms of Delft on one side and a view of the city on the other. The front displays a shield with a lion on each side, representing the city's strength and power. The reverse shows the iconic Nieuwe Kerk and the Old Church of Delft, symbols of the city's history and faith. This medal was likely a commemorative piece, celebrating a special event or figure in Delft's history. The delicate detail of the engraved design, despite its miniature size, demonstrates the artistry of Thier, a prominent medal maker of his time.
