This medal was struck by order of the magistrates of Leyden,
and a specimen in gold was presented to each of the Overseers,
who were appointed to supply lists of the hearths of
that city for the purpose of levying the hearth-tax. This tax,
being rigidly enforced, resulted in a large revenue to the city,
and the money thus obtained was devoted to the repairing and
refitting of the Dutch fleet. The successes in the late war
with England are thus in a measure attributed to the bounties
received from the city of Leyden.
