Wijnkopersgilde van Nijmegen, gildepenning van Christoffel van den Bergh 1750

This 1750 guild token, crafted by an anonymous artist, is an example of decorative metalwork. Measuring 4.4 cm high and 7.2 cm wide, this oval-shaped piece of metal features a design engraved on both sides. One side depicts a stylized bird with a grapevine and the other side shows a inscription that includes the name "Christoffel van den Bergh" and the year "1750". This token was likely used for identification or membership in the Wine Buyers Guild of Nijmegen, highlighting the historical importance of the wine trade in the region.
