This 1948 bronze medal, titled "Hulde Engelandvaarders aan Wilhelmina," commemorates Queen Wilhelmina's golden jubilee. Created by J.Ph. van Zegveld, the medal features a depiction of the "Oranje-Haven," a safe house for Dutch resistance fighters during World War II. The inscription on the reverse translates to "To the mother of 'Oranje-Haven,' presented by the former England-sailors on the occasion of her golden jubilee 1898-1948." This medal serves as a poignant reminder of the Dutch resistance during World War II and Wilhelmina's steadfast leadership during a turbulent period in Dutch history.
