This small, bronze, 17th-century guild medallion, created by Hans Rogiers van Harelbeke, depicts the coat of arms of the Amsterdam Brokers' Guild. The front of the medal portrays a building with a prominent tower, while the back features the guild's heraldic shield with two flanking lions and the number 209. This piece, weighing only 9.38 grams, is a fascinating example of the intricate artistry used in guild medallions during the Dutch Golden Age.
