Eerste eeuwfeest van de oprichting van de Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie 1702

This silver medal, created by Dutch artist Reynier Arondeaux in 1702, commemorates the first century of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The obverse features a seated figure representing the VOC, holding a scepter and a book, with the inscription "IN AETERA SECULA PERGO" meaning "I continue to live in the ages." The reverse depicts a ship sailing under a banner with the inscription "INVICTIS NULLA VIA" meaning "No path is closed to the invincible." The medal is a small but intricate work of art, celebrating the success of the VOC during its first century of operation.
