THE DUTCH REPUBLIC. Uncertain city. E.F.v.S., 1672. Medal (Silver, 22 mm, 2.11 g, 12 h), an engraved medal: almost certainly a kind of communion token, or something similar, awarded to a communicant or to a divinity student who successfully became a minister. Crown over a monogram of EVSF; all within a wreath. Rev. Hand pointing to an open book inscribed B-IB/LI-IA; below, 1672. No parallel found. Lightly toned and clearly, albeit slightly crudely, engraved. Minor marks and a possible attempted piercing at 12 h on the obverse, otherwise, extremely fine.
