Delft, brandspuitpenning van wijk 3 met no. 38 1690

This 1690 bronze token, created by Willem van Kerpen, is a "brandspuitpenning" or fire engine token, representing the third district of Delft in the Netherlands. The front features a crowned coat of arms with two lions, while the back displays the number 38. These tokens were given to members of the fire department as a form of identification and recognition. Their small size, 3.9 cm in diameter, makes them a unique and intimate example of Dutch civic life and craftsmanship.
