Bakkersgilde te Amsterdam, gildepenning van Henderick Woutersen c. 1652

This small, circular bronze medal, dating from around 1652, is a guild token from the Baker's Guild of Amsterdam, specifically for Henderick Woutersen. One side depicts a coat of arms featuring two lions, likely representing the guild, and the other features a baker, possibly the guild’s patron saint, engaged in baking. These small, circular tokens, often made of metal, were common in the Dutch Golden Age, and were used as identification or membership markers for different guilds.
