This 17th-century guild token, created by an anonymous artist in 1621, is a circular, bronze medal with a diameter of 4.6 cm and weighing 334 grams. The front displays a crowned emblem of a building, while the back shows a crowned "ID" within an oval, surrounded by text. This object served as a symbol of membership for the "Zijdeverversgilde van Amsterdam" (Amsterdam Silk Dyers Guild), highlighting the importance of guild membership in Dutch society during that period.
