Plaque for Next-of-Kin of Fallen N.S.B. Members.
Known Makers - Royal Dutch Mint in Utrecht, Koninklijke Begeer
Rarity - Very Rare
It measured 66 mm by 40 mm and is made in white metal, with considerable zinc content. The plaques are maker marked on the upper edge in the middle, with a so called “caduceus” stamp, which from 1815 and was the official maker mark used on all Dutch coin struck at the Royal Dutch Mint in Utrecht. It is also the maker mark for Koninklijke Begeer Though this is very confusing because Koninklijke Begeer is normally the very renowned official maker of Dutch royal awards. The plaques are marked on the obverse in the lower right corner of the central square, with a “C” encircling an “A”. This is the designer’s mark of artist and NSB member Cris Agterberg, the designer of the plaque. He joined the NSB in 1932 and remained a member until the end of the war in May 1945. Agterberg was born in 1883, an artist from the city of Utrecht in the Netherlands. He designed mainly furniture, jewellery and other small items. His artist gallery was officially accepted and became a platform for other artists. After the war Agterberg was sentenced in 1947 but was set free immediately because this was less than the time he had already been in jail. It was also taken into consideration that he was seriously ill. He died a year later in 1948.
These plaques were contained in a plain, black cardboard box lined with purple velvet. There is a possibility that these plaques were presented with a certificate. These plaques are very rare and only less than 20 are found in collections.
