This silver medal, created by Dutch artist Barend Christiaan van Calker, commemorates F. Buchner, a member of the board of the "Society for the Promotion of Arts and Sciences" for 25 years. The medal's obverse depicts two hands shaking, symbolizing the society's mission. The reverse features a quill pen and a roll of paper, likely representing Buchner's contributions to the organization. The medal, measuring 6.3 centimeters in diameter, was likely commissioned between 1787 and 1817, shortly before van Calker's death in 1813. It stands as a testament to the lasting impact of Buchner's service within the arts and sciences.
