Tentoonstelling door de Nederlandsche Bond van Gemeente-Ambtenaren te Amsterdam 1906 1906

This medal commemorating an exhibition in Amsterdam was made in 1906 by the Koninklijke Utrechtsche Fabriek van Zilverwerken van C.J. Begeer. I can only imagine the meticulous process behind this work: the careful planning, the precise execution, and the balancing act between artistic expression and functional purpose. The piece, though small, captures a sense of civic pride and is also like a little historical portal. The detailed coat of arms with lions—they're like heraldic superheroes, right? Then there are the oak leaves on the reverse, very stately and respectable. I am sure that the designer probably felt a sense of responsibility to get everything just right. There is an artistic challenge there—every little cut and every tiny detail had to be on point. In the end, the piece is not just a marker of an event but also a testament to the values of craftsmanship, community, and history.
