Makelaarsgilde van Middelburg, gildepenning met no. 6 1667

This 17th-century bronze medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1667, depicts the guild of brokers from Middelburg, Netherlands. One side of the medal features three men, presumably members of the guild, shaking hands. The reverse depicts a tabletop arrangement of three objects, which could represent items or tools relevant to the brokers' trade. This small but detailed medal offers a glimpse into the practices and symbols associated with the profession of brokerage during this historical period.
