A short survey is presented of academic and medical medals, with specimens dating from the 17th century onward, in the collection of the Society 'Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde'. With respect to the old medals, the existing clusters of interest (academical and medical medals) are served by selective acquisition rather than by the quest for completeness. The evolution of medical science, medical institutes and practice in and after World War II merits documentation by extending the collection to the present days. The motives to commemorate, to celebrate and to honour facts or persons still stand, and Dutch artists are clearly interested and able to express these sentiments in medals.
