Verkiezing van Bernardus Blok tot secretaris van de gecommitteerde raden in West-Friesland en het Noorderkwartier, penning geslagen op last van het Patriottisch Genootschap te Enkhuizen 1785

This silver medal, created by Dutch artist Johan George Holtzhey in 1785, commemorates the election of Bernardus Blok as secretary of the West Friesland and Noorderkwartier committees. The front depicts a figure standing on a pedestal, symbolizing Blok's election, with the inscription "Verkiezing van Bernardus Blok." The back inscription, "O Vryheid" ("Oh Freedom"), underscores the political context of the time, the Dutch Patriot movement. The medal, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a valuable artifact showcasing the artistry and political climate of 18th-century Netherlands.
