Theodorus Everardus van Berckel created this silver medal in 1741, commemorating the construction of a road from 's-Hertogenbosch to Eindhoven. The obverse features a detailed view of the city of 's-Hertogenbosch, with the new road leading out of the city toward the horizon. The reverse depicts a female figure personifying 's-Hertogenbosch, standing on a paved road and holding a caduceus, a symbol of commerce and prosperity. She is handing the caduceus to another seated figure, perhaps representing the city of Eindhoven. This small, yet detailed medal is a testament to the importance of infrastructure development in 18th-century Netherlands.
