This silver medal, created by Johan George Holtzhey in 1801, commemorates the defense of Ternate, an island in the Moluccas, against the British and Moros. The medal features a detailed depiction of a column with the Dutch flag and the inscription "verlost 4. Aug. 1799", marking the date of the victory. The other side of the medal contains the inscription "JOH: GODFR: BUDACH, GOVT: DIRECT." honoring Governor-Director Johan Godfried Budach, who led the defense. This piece is a testament to Dutch colonial history and the importance of Ternate in the spice trade.
