This small silver medal, created in 1818 by an unknown artist, was given to voters in the Rijnland Water Board elections. The front displays the coat of arms of the Water Board, featuring a crowned shield with two eagles. The back of the medal depicts a wreath with the inscription "Kiezers-penning Rijnland" which translates to "Elector's medal Rijnland". The medal, now in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the history of Dutch governance and the role of citizens in the 19th century.
