Schippersgilde, gildepenning van Jan Jansen van Gulick c. 1600 - 1800

This oval-shaped, brass guild token dating back to 1600-1800, depicts a ship with sails in a floral wreath on one side. The other side reads "Jan Jansen van Gulick," indicating it was likely created for a member of the Schippersgilde (Shipmaster's Guild), a professional organization for captains and mariners. This small, engraved token served as a symbol of membership and a way to recognize individuals within the guild.
