Willem V en Wilhelmina van Pruisen, prins en prinses van Oranje-Nassau 1787 - 1795

This silver medal, created by an anonymous artist between 1787 and 1795, depicts Willem V, Prince of Orange-Nassau, in profile. The medal is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, and features a detailed, ornate design with a crown at the top and a star-shaped border surrounding Willem V's portrait. The medal's small size, approximately 5.1 cm long by 3.7 cm wide, underscores its likely purpose as a commemorative piece or personal token. The piece is an example of a popular genre during the period: commemorative medals of historical figures. This medal serves as a reminder of the reign of Willem V and his wife, Wilhelmina, who were the stadtholders of the Dutch Republic.
