Comment
This medal came in a cardboard coin holder:
The printed text on the coin holder explains a bit of the origin.
Haring- en Bierfeest (Herring and Beer Festival) is an annual event since 1974. The name of the event has changed over time ("Loggerfestival", “Haring en Bierfestival”), but the herring refers to the major source of income in the 19th century.
