This gold medal, "Nieuwjaarspenning 1751," was created by Johan George Holtzhey in 1751. It is a beautiful example of a Dutch New Year's medal, featuring a depiction of the god Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and transitions. The medal was likely given as a gift to commemorate the new year. It is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
