This small silver medal, created by Hendrik Meijer in 1766, commemorates the inauguration of Willem V, Prince of Orange-Nassau, as hereditary stadholder of Utrecht. The obverse of the medal depicts Willem V receiving a scepter, while the inscription on the reverse details the event and includes the year 1766. The medal was likely presented to the "Fortuin" company, a group of citizens or soldiers. This small-scale artwork, a common form of commemorative art in the 18th century, serves as a powerful reminder of the historical significance of Willem V's accession.
