Beautiful coin by Guus Hellegers. Including original folder and inlay.
Commemorative medal on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the municipality of Haarlemmermeer and the inauguration of the new town hall.
Obverse: The shape of the municipality is depicted raised on the upper half as a sign of land. The mirror image in negative is reminiscent of the former water area. This side is divided by a horizon. The poplars suggest a familiar image in the polder. The pumping station 'De Cruquius' represents the first buildings; the 'Aviodrome' represents the modern buildings in the municipality. The old town hall, as an abandoned building, also fits into this series. The trees and buildings are sunken, while the new town hall emerges as the latest addition below the horizon. The scale is 1:5000
Text: Haarlemmermeer 1855 municipality full of promise - 1980 community vibrant with life.
Back: Caraway seeds used to be widely cultivated in Haarlemmermeer. The profile of the municipality is repeated in the arrangement of the flowers on the medal. Flowers and insects suggest the interaction and mutual need of citizens and government.
Text: Openness fertilizes interaction.
The whole is in neat condition.
