Korendragersgilde van Enkhuizen, gildepenning van Jan Tjeertz 1780

This 1780 guild token, created by an anonymous artist, features a depiction of a member of the Korendragersgilde, a guild of porters in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The circular bronze token, measuring 3.8 cm in diameter, is inscribed with the guild's name and the date 1780 on the back. These guild tokens, also known as "gildepenningen", served as identifiers for members of the guild, showcasing their trade and affiliation. The simplistic, yet effective, engraving style, along with the inscription, makes this artifact an interesting historical document and a small window into the daily life of the guild members in Enkhuizen.
