A Silver, Dutch East India Company Button, 1787
This button shows a VOC trading ship of the 17th century. It is marked on the back with the town arms of Schoonhoven, the date letter for 1787, and the silversmithโs initials โIVโ. It may have been made by Jan van Vlierden, who worked in Schoonhoven from 1780-1790, but he is not recorded as a button maker.
