This silver medal, created by David van der Kellen in 1854, commemorates the "Tentoonstelling van land- en tuinbouw te Arnhem," an agricultural exhibition held in Arnhem, Netherlands in honor of King Willem III. The medal features a profile portrait of King Willem III on one side, and the inscription "Tentoonstelling van land- en tuinbouw te Arnhem, ter ere van Willem III, koning der Nederlanden, penning uitegereikt aan H.J. Wilke voor zijn coniferen" on the other, highlighting the exhibition's purpose and the recipient of this particular medal, H.J. Wilke, for his conifer collection. The medal, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small-scale work, measuring only 5.1 cm in diameter, demonstrating the intricate detail possible in miniature art.
