Instituut van E. Kempf aan de Kalverstraat te Amsterdam 1744

This silver medal, created by Martin Holtzhey in 1744, commemorates the foundation of the E. Kempf Institute on the Kalverstraat in Amsterdam. The obverse depicts a woman holding a staff and leading a young boy with a tablet, both walking towards a cloud emanating rays of light, symbolizing virtue and education. The reverse shows a man holding a bow and arrow, representing fortitude, standing next to a basket of fruit. The medal's small size, measuring 3.4 cm in diameter, reflects its intended use as a commemorative piece for the institute.
