This silver token, created in 1661 by Dutch artist Roelof van Cuylenburch, represents a "Schutterij" or civic guard of Utrecht, Netherlands. The coin’s obverse features the coat of arms of Utrecht, while the reverse depicts military symbols, such as a helmet, a musket, and a banner, alluding to the Schutterij's purpose. This small but detailed token, measuring 3 cm in diameter, exemplifies the artistry of medallic work in the 17th century and provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of civic guards in the Netherlands.
