Honderdvijftigjarig bestaan van de Kamer van Koophandel en Fabrieken te Amsterdam 1961

This bronze medal, created in 1961 by the Koninklijke Utrechtsche Fabriek van Zilverwerken van C.J. Begeer, commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Amsterdam. The obverse of the medal depicts two figures with a pyramid between them, symbolizing the foundations of commerce. The reverse side features a bust of Mercury, the Roman god of trade, and an inscription detailing the occasion. This small but significant work of art is an example of medallic art, a genre often used to celebrate important events and figures.
