"Zorgelijke toestand in de Nederlanden" is a silver medal designed by Nicolaas van Swinderen in 1745. The medal depicts a scale with a sword on one side and a ship with a serpent on the other. On the reverse, a lion stands on a pedestal and holds a sword. These elements suggest the precarious state of the Netherlands, symbolizing the conflict between the Republic and the French. This medal, a notable example of Dutch medallic art, provides insight into the political climate of the 18th century.
