Netherlands, Amsterdam. Fire brigade attendance token — brandspuitpenning. Undated, eighteenth century. Ward 8, individual number 26.
Obverse: crowned arms of Amsterdam supported by two lions, with the ward designation W 28 in the cartouche below.
Reverse: a hand-operated fire pump with pumping bars and hose, enclosed by a serpent border. The engraved number 87 appears above the pump. Pierced near the upper edge.
These tokens served as identification and attendance checks for Amsterdam’s fire-pump crews. Each fireman received a token bearing his ward and individual number. It was handed to the firemasters upon attendance at a fire or exercise and returned after completion of the duties.
The combination of the ward designation and individual number connects this piece directly with the practical organisation of Amsterdam’s eighteenth-century firefighting service.
References: Dirks, plate III, no. 26; Minard 120; Brandspuitpenningcatalogus 1.
Weight: 23.9 g. Diameter: 42 mm.
