Prijspenning van de Geldersche Maatschappij van Landbouw 1846 - 1858

This silver medal, created by an anonymous artist between 1846 and 1858, commemorates the "Geldersche Maatschappij van Landbouw" (Gelderland Agricultural Society). The obverse side features a wreath of wheat surrounding the Society's coat of arms and the year 1846. The reverse side depicts a plow, symbolizing the importance of agriculture, with a ribbon above that reads "DE VORDERING DER LANDBOUW" (the advancement of agriculture). This small, yet significant object, exemplifies the appreciation of agricultural progress during the 19th century in the Netherlands.
