Verheffing van de prins van Oranje tot stadhouder 1747

This 1747 silver medal by Gerrit Marshoorn commemorates the elevation of William IV to stadholder of the Netherlands. The obverse features a profile portrait of the prince, while the reverse displays an inscription that praises him as "a Solomon for the Netherlands, a peacemaker according to God's counsel." This medal is a small but significant example of the commemorative art that was produced in the 18th century to celebrate important events and individuals.
