This silver medal, created by Dutch medalist Martin Holtzhey in 1743, commemorates the arrival of Gustaaf Willem, Baron Imhoff, Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies at the Cape of Good Hope. The obverse depicts Imhoff in profile, while the reverse features a seated figure representing Justice, holding scales and a scepter, with a crown and a radiant sun above. The medal, measuring 2.8 cm in diameter, was likely presented to guests at a celebratory meal. The intricate details of the medal, including the inscription, provide valuable insight into Dutch colonial history.
