This silver medal, created by Johan George Holtzhey in 1756, commemorates the surrender of the Saxon army to Frederick II of Prussia at Pirna. The obverse features a profile portrait of Frederick II, while the reverse depicts a scene of the surrender, with a Roman soldier accepting the surrender of two kneeling figures representing the Saxon army. The medal, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a valuable historical artifact documenting a significant event in the Seven Years' War.
