This document, possibly from 1870, is a certificate for a military decoration issued to Penninaja Kwassie no.2 for his actions during the Guinea War (1869-1870). It is decorated with a coat of arms, weapons, and a scene of a cannon in a tropical setting. This is a type of document from a collection produced by the Ministry of Colonies of the Netherlands (1806-1959). The decoration likely commemorates his bravery and service in the war, highlighting a significant period of Dutch colonial history in Africa.
