    The medal was engraved by Hans de Heus. It is uncertain whether the non-wearable and wearable medals will present a difference in price.

History


The Rotterdam Medal was established in 1816 and was awarded to the volunteers of Rotterdam who defended the city against French occupation in 1815. It was issued non-wearable, but it became permitted for wear on military uniforms on September 27, 1833.

The Silver Medal features an obverse inscription that translates to "Rotterdam Volunteer Forces." A total of 121 were awarded.
