This small, 3.4 cm diameter, bronze medal was created in 1792 for the Korendragers- en -stortersgilde van Amsterdam, a guild in Amsterdam. It depicts Jan Jacob de Leeuw, who is likely a member of the guild. The other side displays an inscription, "Jan Jacob de Leeuw heeft dit Gilt Gekogt 21 Juny 1792," which translates to "Jan Jacob de Leeuw bought this Guild on June 21, 1792," and further confirms the identity of the individual. The medal is a prime example of a commemorative art piece.
