Schuttersgezelschap van Amsterdam 1771

This silver medal, created by the Monogrammist B in 1771, depicts the Schuttersgezelschap van Amsterdam, a guild of marksmen. The obverse features an allegorical figure of Victory crowning a marksman. The reverse depicts a crowned eagle with spread wings clutching a target, with two rifles crossed beneath. This small medal, measuring just 3.2 cm in diameter, serves as a testament to the importance of this guild in Dutch society. The medal is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch medallic art.
