This silver medal, created by Johan George Holtzhey in 1752, depicts a female figure holding a laurel wreath and standing amidst a cityscape, possibly Haarlem, Netherlands. The inscription "Optime Meritis" (To those who deserve best) and "Societ Holl Scientiarum Prem" (Society of Dutch Sciences Award) suggest it was a prize awarded by the Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen. The medal is a prime example of 18th-century medallic art, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing realistic details and symbolic imagery.
