Hoender-, konijn- en vogelverkopersgilde van Amsterdam, gildepenning van Abraham IJzeraut 1778

This is a guild token made of brass that was created by an anonymous artist in 1778 for the "Hoender-, konijn- en vogelverkopersgilde van Amsterdam". This means that it was made for the guild of chicken, rabbit, and bird sellers in Amsterdam. The front side of the token features a relief of a rooster, while the back side is engraved with an inscription and a bird. Guild tokens were often given out to members of a guild and were used for identification purposes. This token is small, measuring just 3 cm in diameter and weighing 9.59 grams.
