Vijftigjarige herdenking van de slag bij Waterloo 1865

This silver medal, created by Salomon de Vries in 1865, commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. The obverse of the medal depicts three female figures symbolizing Peace, Justice, and Victory, while the reverse displays a lion, a symbol of the Netherlands, resting on a plinth. The inscription around the edge reads "Vijftigjarige herdenking van de slag bij Waterloo 18 Juni 1815." The medal, measuring just 4.9 cm in diameter, is a testament to the enduring impact of the Battle of Waterloo on Dutch history and national identity.
