Nederlands mobilisatiekruis 1938 - 1940

This anonymous artwork, "Nederlands mobilisatiekruis," is a pair of military medals from the Rijksmuseum that were awarded during the Dutch mobilization between 1938 and 1940. The medals are both cross-shaped, with one depicting a helmet and crossed swords and the other showing a profile portrait and the letters "W" and "V," likely representing the Dutch Queen Wilhelmina. These medals highlight the historical significance of the Dutch mobilization, and serve as a reminder of the period leading up to World War II.
