Gevecht bij Soestdijk, draagteken door de Staten van Utrecht uitgereikt aan de officieren 1787 - 1788

This oval-shaped bronze medal, created by Johan George Holtzhey between 1787 and 1788, commemorates the Battle of Soestdijk. The obverse depicts a female figure representing the Dutch Republic, holding a sword and a laurel branch, standing on a base inscribed "Soestdijk" and "18 Sept 1787." The reverse features an inscription honoring the officers of the States of Utrecht, who fought bravely in the battle. This commemorative medal, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical artifact that reflects the Dutch Republic's military heritage and the significance of the Battle of Soestdijk.
