Beloningspenning voor Voortvarendheid en Vernuft 1917 1917

This bronze medal, "Beloningspenning voor Voortvarendheid en Vernuft 1917," was designed by Dutch artist Pier Pander in 1917. The medal features a profile portrait of a crowned woman on one side, and a shield with a stylized horn and inscription on the other. The inscription reads, "Je maintiendrai voor voortvarendheid en vernuft", which translates to "I will maintain for boldness and ingenuity." This medal, a testament to Pander's mastery of the medium, is a striking example of commemorative medallic art.
