The "Kamer van Koophandel te Antwerpen, ter ere van Willem I Frederik, koning der Nederlanden" is a silver medal, created in 1815 by Pierre Wautier van de Goor. It depicts a profile portrait of King William I Frederik of the Netherlands on one side, and a reclining figure of the god Mercury, representing commerce, on the other. This medal was likely commissioned to commemorate the King's support of Antwerp's Chamber of Commerce. The small size of the medal suggests that it was likely intended as a personal memento or gift, rather than a public display. The artist was a renowned medallist and sculptor, known for his work in the neoclassical style. This artwork is a prime example of numismatic art, focusing on the creation of commemorative coins and medals.
