Nazien van de munt van Harderwijk 1796

This silver medal, created by Marten Hendrik Lohse in 1796, commemorates the birth of a child to the judge of Harderwijk. It features a depiction of Hygieia, the Greek goddess of health, holding a staff entwined with a serpent, a symbol of healing, and a cornucopia. The inscription on the reverse side of the medal, "Geboren op den 7e Nie Judicio Domini facto," translates to "Born on the 7th [of the month] in the year of the Lord." The small diameter and weight of the medal suggest it was likely intended for personal use, perhaps as a token of celebration or a gift.
