The Rijksmuseum’s medal collection, boasting some 12,500 objects, is almost a century and a half old. The museum continues to expand its collection with special medals, which are either purchased, donated, or given on loan. On display here are a number of the most extraordinary acquisitions of recent years. These are honorary and commemorative medals. Several are unique and came from the descendants of the individuals who once received them.
