Gedenkpenning voor de vlijtige jeugd 1775 - 1825

This small silver medal, created by the Dutch medallist Daniel Friedrich Loos between 1775 and 1825, is a commemorative piece titled "Gedenkpenning voor de vlijtige jeugd." The obverse depicts a beehive surrounded by foliage, while the reverse shows two cornucopias overflowing with fruit and flowers. This work is a fine example of 18th-century medallic art and uses the imagery of bees and cornucopias to represent the rewards of diligence and hard work.
