Honorary Medal of the Staatsbedrijf der PTT (State-owned Enterprise Dutch National Post) Awarded to Marinus W. Bos in 1942
Leendert Bolle, 1940 - 1942
People who have performed a heroic deed or reached the end of a long career are sometimes awarded a medal as a token of esteem and gratitude. Often these are made of gold. Especially in the seventeenth century, gold medals with their chains were literally a reward. They were subsequently melted down and converted into money, which is why so few have survived.
