Theodorus Casparus van Berckel's "Vroedschapspenning van de stad 's-Hertogenbosch" is a silver medal created in 1704, depicting the city's coat of arms and a building on either side. The obverse features two figures flanking the coat of arms with the inscription "VINCIT AMOR SILVAE," or "Love conquers the forest." The reverse shows a building, possibly a town hall or other important civic structure, with the inscription "PRAESENTES CUIAT POSTULI," likely referring to the city's civic authority.
