This is a photograph of a commemorative medal. The medal features an engraving of three figures standing around. In the center, one figure holds a branch. The other two figures hold objects: one a shield with Dutch text, and the other with text referring to Great Britain. Above them is a cherub-like figure aiming a torch downwards. The medal is bordered by an edging, with the artist's name inscribed along the bottom edge.
