This small, silver, circular medal, dated 1766, was made for the Bakers' Guild of Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The front depicts a baker in his shop, while the back features an inscription that reads "Dirk Karsten" and the year "1766". This guild token, measuring 4.1 cm in diameter, was likely a membership badge or a gift for a prominent member of the guild, offering a glimpse into the visual culture and craft traditions of the 18th century.
