This gold medal, created by Johan George Holtzhey in 1765, is a "Landdagpenning" or Land's Day Coin. The obverse of the medal displays a bust of Princess Carolina of Nassau-Weilburg, while the reverse features the coat of arms of Friesland surrounded by the coats of arms of the towns of Friesland. This artwork exemplifies the medal-making practice in 18th century Europe and showcases the artist's talent in rendering detailed and realistic imagery within the small scale.
