This commemorative medal, designed by Edouard Louis Geerts in 1876, celebrates the opening of the North Sea Canal in the Netherlands. One side features a portrait of King Willem III, who reigned from 1849 to 1890, and the other side details the date of the canal's opening. This small, round medal is a fine example of commemorative art, signifying a significant engineering accomplishment and honoring the Dutch monarchy. The artist’s signature, "E.D.GEERTS," can be seen beneath the king's portrait.
