This silver medal, created in 1766 by Dutch artist Hendrik Meijer (1744–1793), commemorates the inauguration of Willem V, Prince of Orange-Nassau, as hereditary stadholder of Utrecht. The obverse depicts a symbolic scene of the prince being presented with a scroll by the city of Utrecht, personified by three women. The inscription on the reverse describes the event in Dutch, noting that the medal was presented to the citizens of Utrecht by the officers of the "Fortuin" company. This small, yet intricate, medal is a testament to the artistic skill of Meijer and provides a historical glimpse into the Dutch Republic in the 18th century.
