Verzet van Harlingen, Stavoren en Workum tegen een gewijzigde verkiezingsprocedure 1783 1783

This silver medal, created by Johann Heinrich Schepp in 1783, commemorates the resistance of the Dutch cities of Harlingen, Stavoren, and Workum against a proposed change to their election procedures. The obverse features a profile portrait of Willem V, Prince of Orange, while the reverse showcases a symbolic representation of the three cities' unity: their coats of arms bound together beneath an olive tree, symbolizing peace and concord. The medal's small size and intricate detail are characteristic of Schepp's work, which often celebrated political events and figures.
