Doos behorend bij een penning ter ere van Alkmaar 700 jaar Possibly 1954

This is a small, rectangular box created by Koninklijke Utrechtsche Fabriek van Zilverwerken van C.J. Begeer, possibly in 1954. The box served as packaging for a commemorative coin celebrating the 700th anniversary of Alkmaar, a city in the Netherlands. The box, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is made of a simple, white material and bears the maker's mark, a blue stamp with the company's name. The handwritten inscription "Haddeweerse brood, Den Hang 1946-1953" on the top of the box suggests that the box may have been used to store bread. This piece provides a glimpse into the history of Alkmaar and the craftsmanship of the Koninklijke Utrechtsche Fabriek van Zilverwerken van C.J. Begeer.
