This 1681 guild token, likely from a Frisian town, showcases the coat of arms of Dierck Clasen surrounded by a leafy wreath, alongside the year “1681”. The reverse features a crowned I, possibly representing the name of the guild, or perhaps an abbreviation for "Iustitia", Latin for justice. These small, cast objects were distributed to members of local guilds, and this one exemplifies the craft and symbolism of 17th-century Frisian guild culture.
