This small, 3 cm diameter, brass guild token, or *gildepenning*, was created in 1802 for the Korendragers-en-stortersgilde van Amsterdam, the guild of coal carriers and porters. The front depicts a stylized man carrying a sack of coal, standing near two boats, and the back is inscribed "Dav Lantman t'fonds Gekogt 19 Augs' 1802." Guild tokens were often used to commemorate special events or to honor members, and they provide insights into the daily life and trade of the time.
