This 1742 bronze medal, created by an unknown artist, is a guild token of the Compass and Sailmakers' Guild of Amsterdam. The front of the medal features an engraved compass and sail, symbolizing the guild's trade. The reverse bears the inscription "Pieter Cornelisz Neyg," likely the name of a member or master of the guild. This small but significant piece of art offers a glimpse into the history of Amsterdam's trade guilds and their importance in the city's economy.
