Stad Leeuwarden 1836

This silver medal, created in 1836 by Dutch artist Tjeerd Keikes, depicts the Stadhuis (town hall) of Leeuwarden. The obverse features a detailed engraving of the building’s facade, while the reverse bears the inscription "Medal of the City of Leeuwarden for Recognition." This commemorative medal is a small-scale example of the medallic art, a popular genre during the 19th century. Its inscription suggests it was likely awarded to an individual for their contributions to the city.
