Inhuldiging van Willem IV als markies van Vlissingen en Veere 1751

This silver medal, created by Dutch artist Nicolaas van Swinderen in 1751, depicts the inauguration of Willem IV as the Marquis of Vlissingen and Veere. The obverse showcases a scene of Willem IV, adorned with a helmet, accepting a crown from two figures while standing before a building. The reverse depicts a city with a crowd of people assembled in front of a building, perhaps a church or town hall. This medal is a testament to the artist’s skill in capturing historical events through the detailed representation of the ceremony.
