Coin made in honor of Johann[es] Heineken. The coin reads:
"Johann Heineken, born 26 Oct 1761, Professor of Physics and Doctor of Medicine, 16 Aug 1783"
This would indicate that Johannes was only 21 when he had
a Medical degree. The relief of him is of a much older Johannes,
believed
to have been made when he was 50 years old. It is
believed the coin was given to him as a present on his
50th birthday.
(Johannes was the grandfather of C.A. Heineken of Mill Park.)
