Willem IV Karel Hendrik Friso van Nassau (zn. van XVIIg), geb. Leeuwarden 1.9.1711, prins van Oranje , vorst van Nassau, erfstadhouder van Friesland (1711), stadhouder van Groningen (1718), van Drenthe en Gelderland (1722), van Zeeland, Holland, Utrecht en Overijssel (1747), erfstadhouder der Verenigde Provinciën (1748), verenigde het gehele bezit van de Ottoonse linie van zijn Huis, overl. Wassenaar (Huis ten Bosch) 22.10.1751 - William IV, Prince of Orange (1711–1751), stadtholder of The Netherlands, was the son of John William Friso of the Frisian branch of the house of Orange-Nassau and a descendant of the brother of William the Silent. After the death of his father, he became, at age seven, chief executive and military commander of the province of Friesland.
In 1734 he married Princess Anne, daughter of King George II of Great Britain.
In an effort to quell internal strife amongst the various factions, in 1747 the States-General selected William IV as their leader, making it a hereditary position, the event commemorated by this medal. At first, he was popular with the people when he spoke out against the power and wealth of the Dutch business establishment. However, he held the position of Director-General of the Dutch East India Company, and his alliance with the business class deepened while the disparity between rich and poor grew. He served as stadtholder of all the Netherlands until his death in 1751, at which time nothing remained of the dreams of a revived republic strongly led by a stadholder in the old alliance with Austria and England.
The Dassier family constituted a group of celebrated Swiss medalists from the late 17th to mid 18th centuries. The father, Domaine Dassier (1641-1719), was Chief-engraver at the Mint of Geneva from 1677 to 1720. His son, Jean Dassier (1676-1763), who succeeded his father as Chief-engraver on his father’s death in 1720, studied die-sinking under his father and later in Paris under Mauger and Roettiers. One of Jean Dassier’s sons, Jacques Antoine (1715-1759), learned the art of die-sinking under the celebrated goldsmith Germain of Paris. He was engaged as Engraver at the Royal Mint, London from 1741-1757. Another son of Jean Dassier, Antoine (1718-1780), worked with his father for a number of years, issuing a series of medals bearing the signature DASSIER ET FILS.
Dassier, Jean: Jean Dassier (1676-1763) was one of the most prominent and celebrated engravers of the eighteenth century. Highly regarded for his artistic skills, Jean Dassier was but one member of a noted Swiss family of medallists. He trained under his father, Domaine Dassier (1641-1719), chief engraver at the mint in Geneva. Jean later studied in Paris under Jean Mauger and Joseph Roettier(s). After serving his father as assistant engraver at Geneva, Jean assumed the position of chief engraver following his father's death, a position he held until his own death over forty years later. Jean Dassier was the most prolific of the family, issuing several series of medals, including a series of small medals (jetons) Les metamorphoses d’Ovide, a series of medals representing celebrated men and women in France during the 17th century (les hommes illustres du siecle de Louis XIV), a series of medals depicting the principal Protestant Reformers, The Genevan Theologians, medals illustrating the history of Geneva and, when in England, a series of famous English men (The British Worthies) and a series of English Sovereigns from William I to George II. In conjunction with his son, he also issued a series of small medals illustrating Roman history. Jean Dassier's three sons followed his footsteps in engraving, most notably Jacques-Antoine Dassier (1715-1759). The historian Forrer has claimed that Jean Dassier 'may be termed one of the greatest of eighteenth century Medallists' (Forrer, vol. 1: 339).
Dassier, Jacques Antoine: Jacques Antoine Dassier, the son of Jean Dassier, was a leading figure in the history of medallic art in his own right. He engraved a series of medals of famous contemporary men living in England as well as a number of other important pieces.
