This commemorative medal, designed by Edouard Louis Geerts in 1876, commemorates the opening of the North Sea Canal in the Netherlands. The obverse features a profile portrait of King Willem III, while the reverse inscription details the event: “Opening van het Noordzee Kanaal 1 November 1876”. This small, yet significant, medal served as a tangible reminder of this important engineering feat and its association with the reigning monarch.
