NETHERLANDS - 17TH & 18TH CENTURY GUILD MEDALS
The Dutch Guilds had similar Medieval origins to the London Guilds. However
their medals, mostly for membership identification, start in the late 16th century
but do not survive Napoleon's disbanding of the Guilds. The trade links with
London make us think that the Dutch medals were prototypes for the late 18th
century Livery badges. For further information see Wittop Koning's De Penningen
de Noord-Nederlandse Ambachtsgilden, published in 1978.
