This silver medal, created in 1683 by an anonymous artist, commemorates the Dutch West India Company's (WIC) first dividend payment of 10%. The obverse depicts ships sailing on the sea, symbolizing the company's maritime trade. This small, yet significant, piece of numismatic art, now in the Rijksmuseum collection, reflects a pivotal moment in Dutch colonial history.
