This small silver medal, "De steunpenning 1914" (Support Penny 1914), was designed by Johannes Cornelis Wienecke in 1915. It features a lion holding a sword, a symbol of the Dutch monarchy, on one side, and a stylized palm tree with the inscription "Steun-penning 1914" on the other. This medal was likely created to raise funds for the Dutch government during the First World War. The Rijksmuseum's collection of Dutch medals showcases the artistry and the cultural impact of these small objects.
