Vijftigjarig huwelijk van J.F. Schouberg en K.W. Croes 1838

This silver medal commemorates the fiftieth wedding anniversary of J.F. Schouberg and K.W. Croes. The medal is structured around two distinct sides, each employing symbolic imagery and text. On one side, a winged figure stands beside an altar with a burning flame. The figure, rendered with classical lines, embodies a sense of timelessness and perhaps divine blessing. The altar and flame, centrally positioned, draw the eye, acting as a focal point around which meaning coalesces. On the reverse, the carefully inscribed text is framed by a wreath of roses, a visual signifier of love and longevity. The circular form itself reinforces notions of unity and continuity. The medal’s design isn't just aesthetic; it embodies the cultural values of enduring love. The medal invites contemplation of the interplay between personal milestones and broader societal ideals.
