This bronze medal, created by David van der Kellen in 1835, commemorates the centennial of the Mennonite seminary in Amsterdam. The obverse features a female figure representing Faith, holding a book and standing next to a building. The inscription reads "Den Eer, den Geloofe, en den Doof," which translates to "The honor, the faith, and the baptism." The reverse is inscribed with details about the seminary's founding and the celebration of its 100th anniversary. The medal is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing both the historical significance and the symbolic meaning of this important institution.
