Korendragers- en -stortersgilde van Amsterdam, gildepenning van Henderick Eldersen van Amsterdam 1683

This 17th-century guild medal was made for Henderick Eldersen of Amsterdam. It features a depiction of a guild member carrying a load, likely representing the Korendragers- en -stortersgilde or the guild of "corn carriers and dumpers." On the reverse, the name "Henderick Eldersen van Amsterdam" and the date 1683 are inscribed. This small but significant piece of metal served as a symbol of membership and identity for Eldersen within his Amsterdam guild. Guild medals are often valuable artifacts that provide insight into the history of crafts and professions in the past.
