This silver medal, created by Johann Heinrich Schepp in 1781, commemorates the Battle of Dogger Bank. The front depicts an angel holding a banner and a ship, while the reverse features an inscription in Dutch praising Willem V, Prince of Orange-Nassau. The medal likely served as a token of appreciation for the Dutch seafarers who fought bravely in the battle. The inscription, "Slag bij Doggersbank," translates to "Battle of Dogger Bank." This medal is a significant artifact of Dutch naval history.
