This silver medal, created by Dutch medalist Johan George Holtzhey, commemorates the 25th wedding anniversary of David Jan Thilenus and Margaretha Elisabeth van der Haer. The obverse depicts the couple’s coats of arms surrounded by floral decorations, while the reverse shows two allegorical figures representing “Concord” and “Fidelity” standing on a pedestal inscribed with the wedding date. The medal is an exquisite example of 18th-century medallic art, showcasing the craftsmanship of Holtzhey and offering a glimpse into the lives of a Dutch couple during the Enlightenment period.
