Overdracht van het graafschap Culemborg aan Stadhouder Willem IV 1748 c. 1748

This medal, created by Johan George Holtzhey in 1748, commemorates the transfer of the County of Culemborg to Stadholder Willem IV. The medal depicts Willem IV in profile, wearing a grand, decorative collar. The inscription surrounding the portrait likely details the event being celebrated. This small, yet detailed work exemplifies the artistic talent and historical significance of Dutch medal making during the 18th century. The medal can be found in the Rijksmuseum and provides a glimpse into the political landscape of the Netherlands during this period.
