Beautiful bronze (birth) medal by Christina Nijland. Very nice as a gift for someone born in 1962, for example.
Published in 1962 by the Association for Medal Art.
As is well known, medals are an Italian invention, but there is a thematic variant that is typically Dutch: the birth, marriage, and funeral medal. The Royal Cabinet of Coins and Medals even possesses a divorce medal: a unique item. The earliest medals commemorating such family matters date from the beginning of the seventeenth century. The board wanted to breathe new life into this tradition and asked Christien Nijland, a pupil of Esser, to design a birth medal. Mother and child, an archetypal image in high relief, beautifully placed on the surface and, moreover, corresponding to the designer's domestic situation at the time. A nest with small birds stands on the reverse, surrounded by large leaves. To the artist's annoyance, the obverse and reverse do not correspond: the nest is crooked. With a cast medal, this could be corrected, but once the matrices for a struck medal have been made, it is no longer possible. (source VVPK)
