Afdeling Amsterdam van de Hollandsche Maatschappij van Landbouw, penning uitgereikt aan P.H. van Gelder voor zijn camellia's 1858

This silver medal, created by Dutch medalist Johannes Petrus Schouberg in 1858, is a beautiful example of medallic art. The obverse features a plow and other agricultural tools with a wreath of leaves above, while the reverse is inscribed with the recipient's name, P.H. van Gelder, and the words "voor zijn camellia's," meaning "for his camellias." This medal was likely awarded to van Gelder for his achievements in horticulture, specifically for his successful cultivation of camellias, a type of flowering plant.
