This 1718 silver medal, designed by Dutch artist Gerard van Loon, commemorates the "Ridderlijke Confrerie van de Handbussche te Delft", a society of musketeers in Delft. It depicts a seated figure on one side and a knight on horseback on the other. This small piece of metal art (3.3 cm diameter, 14.81 grams) offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and symbolism of early 18th-century Dutch civic societies.
