This bronze medal, designed by Eduard Telcs in 1921-1922, features two distinct sides. One side depicts a winged cherub striking an anvil with a hammer, a symbol of craftsmanship, and the other depicts a female figure passing a crown to a cherub, perhaps representing the awarding of a prize. The medal's inscription "N.V. Koninklijke Nederlandsche Edelmetaalbedrijven van Kempen, Begeer en Vos, Afdeeling Medailles" identifies its purpose: to commemorate the Royal Dutch Precious Metals Companies of Kempen, Begeer and Vos, Medal Department. Telcs's work, crafted in a realistic style, exemplifies the artistry of medal design in the early 20th century.
