Gedenkpenning uitgereikt aan vrijwillige jagers van de Hogeschool van Groningen, 23 September 1831 1831

This commemorative medal, created in 1831 by an anonymous artist, was awarded to volunteer hunters of the University of Groningen. The medal depicts a lion on one side with the inscription "Be pulso hoste vigil quiescit" (When the enemy is defeated, vigilance rests). The other side shows a laurel wreath with the inscription "Patrium defensors oribibus Acad: Gron: civibus curatores MDCCCXNII" (Defenders of the homeland, by the curators of the University of Groningen to its citizens, 1831). The medal is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a tangible example of the University of Groningen's history and its commitment to the community.
