This silver medal, created by Dutch artist Johan George Holtzhey in 1804, commemorates the 25th anniversary of the Nationale Nederlandsche Huishoudelijke Maatschappij (National Dutch Household Society). The obverse depicts a tree, symbolizing growth and prosperity, planted in 1778, surrounded by agricultural tools. The reverse shows a torch burning on an altar, radiating light as a symbol of knowledge and progress. The inscription, "De Nat. Nederl. Huish. Maatschappij," along with the date, "17 Juni 1804," clearly identifies the occasion and purpose of the medal.
