Hervormde Diakonie te Amsterdam, loodje dat behoeftige kerklidmaten bij uitdeling recht gaf op brood 1861

This small, lead token, created in 1861 by David van der Kellen, was used by the Hervormde Diakonie in Amsterdam to distribute bread to needy church members. The token depicts a woman handing a loaf of bread to a man. It is a poignant reminder of the social welfare initiatives in 19th-century Amsterdam and the importance of providing for the less fortunate. This small, but historically significant, token is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
