Koninklijke Nederlandsche Maatschappij tot Aanmoediging van den Tuinbouw te Leiden 1848 - 1863

This silver medal, created by David van der Kellen between 1848 and 1863, is a testament to the Royal Dutch Society for the Encouragement of Horticulture in Leiden. The medal, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a detailed design on one side depicting a woman representing Horticulture holding a cornucopia, surrounded by lush foliage. The other side showcases a laurel wreath encircling a blank space, intended for an inscription or a recipient's name. The medal is a small but significant piece of art, reflecting the society's importance in promoting horticultural advancements in the Netherlands.
