The obverse depicts a man holding a scythe and a woman standing next to a beehive, symbolizing the society’s focus on agriculture and industry. The reverse showcases an inscription that reads, "The 50th anniversary of the Dutch National Household Society, founded in 1754," encircled by oak leaves and a ribbon with crossed tools. The medal is a testament to the society’s important role in promoting economic and social progress in the Netherlands.
