James Hoard Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Hello, Does anyone happen to know if an official medal was ever issued to commemorate Queen Wilhelmina's jubilee in 1938 and if there is an online image or description available somewhere? Cheers James
heusy68 Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Hello, Does anyone happen to know if an official medal was ever issued to commemorate Queen Wilhelmina's jubilee in 1938 and if there is an online image or description available somewhere? Cheers James Hello James, No official medal for 40 years of reign,but a Guard Medal for her 35 years of Reign,but it is a very very rare medal as only 37 were minted and 36 awarded (the remaining one is on display in Historical Museum of Amsterdam) I have scan the picture of the book published in 1984 by Per Thornit of Ordenshistorik Selskab Copenhagen. As only 200 books were printed,it's a rare book too on Royal Dutch Commemorative & Inauguration Medals. Emmanuel
heusy68 Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 First page of text related to the 1933 Queen Wilhelmina 35 Years of Reign Guard Commemorative.
James Hoard Posted August 9, 2009 Author Posted August 9, 2009 Emmanuel Apologies for not responding earlier, but I have not been around recently. Thank you for your informative posting. Funny that the Dutch court seems to issue commemoratives for weddings and wedding anniversaries, but not reigning anniversaries. Cheers James
ErikMuller Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) Dear James, There were at least four semi-official medals which were issued to the Amsterdam Police (and which were allowed to be worn on their uniform). These were the Commemorative Crosses 1898, 1923, 1938 and 1948.
