Klein binnenlandsvaardersgilde van Amsterdam, gildepenning van Tymen Schippers 1790

This 1790 guild token, created by an anonymous artist, features an engraved image of a ship on one side, and an inscription commemorating "Tymen Schippers" on the reverse. These guild tokens, small, circular, and typically made of metal, were awarded to members of Dutch guilds. The inscription on this piece indicates its connection to the "Klein binnenlandsvaardersgilde van Amsterdam," a guild for inland sailors in Amsterdam. These tokens serve as a reminder of the organization's history and membership, as well as the craftsmanship involved in their creation.
