Vijftigjarig huwelijk van Gilles Groenevelt en Kornelia Petronella de Bok 1803

This silver medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1803, commemorates the 50th wedding anniversary of Gilles Groenevelt and Kornelia Petronella de Bok. The obverse depicts a symbolic scene with a caduceus, a staff with two snakes intertwined around it, representing medicine, surrounded by two flags. The reverse portrays a woman in a long dress standing before a tree, with a quote in Dutch that translates to "Here thanks to God for this our long life."
