= Prints after(?) the very rare medal, only found in the collection of G. Munnicks van Cleeff. Cf. the auction catalogue: Catalogus (...) kabinet van historische leg- en gedenkpenningen (..) van G. Munnicks van Cleeff (Amst., 1861). The hollow medal/ box was executed in silver and the front held a rectangular door which could be opened. The verso of the door was engraved with the raid to Chattam, and inside were two loose silver plates, each side engraved with a scene on the murder of the Witt brothers. Not in Van Loon. Jeronimo de Vries describes in Nederlandsche gedenkpenningen verklaard (The Hague, 1837) a very similar medal with the 2 silver plates inside, but without the raid to Chatham on verso of the door and the small portrait opposite of the door on the inside of the medal. Cf. Van Loon, Beschryving der Nederlandsche Historipenningen, vol. 3, p.90 on the 'normal' medal (Rijksmuseum NG-VG-1-1084).
