Vijftigjarig bestaan van de Stoomvaart Maatschappij Nederland 1920 1920

This bronze medal, created by Johannes Cornelis Wienecke in 1920, commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Dutch Steam Navigation Company (Stoomvaart Maatschappij Nederland). The obverse features a ship, likely one of the company's vessels, sailing across the water. The reverse of the medal, inscribed with the company's name, displays the date of the anniversary, 18 May 1870-1920, and a laurel wreath surrounding the text. This small, yet detailed medal, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to the history of Dutch shipping and the legacy of the Stoomvaart Maatschappij Nederland.
