Are you a fan of Dutch sports history or looking for a high-quality, extremely rare silver collectible?
This exclusive ensemble consists of a solid silver design pin (brooch), elegantly presented on a specially designed plexiglass display stand. The object was crafted in 1992 as an official commemorative item and luxury corporate gift on the occasion of the World Allround Speed Skating Championships for Women.

This object was absolutely not available for purchase by the general public at the time. It is a strictly limited edition that was exclusively presented to a select group of guests, including foreign delegations, ISU officials, dignitaries and VIP guests of the tournament. A unique opportunity to acquire a tangible and exclusive piece of speed skating history.
The detachable silver pin is designed in a beautiful abstract, modernist style. The design is the exact three-dimensional translation of the official, stylized tournament logo that was used at the time to symbolize the dynamics and speed of the skating movement. The brooch can easily be removed from the stand and worn.

Both the stand and the design pin are designed and crafted by the renowned Frisian goldsmith and silversmith studio 't Zilver Hamertje. The back of the silver pin features the official round master mark HK, the master mark of silversmith H. Kraan. The back of the presentation stand contains the original silver-colored sticker of this Heerenveen jewelry house.

This historic World Allround Championship took place on March 7 and 8, 1992, in the iconic skating temple Thialf in Heerenveen. The tournament was completely dominated by the German team. The legendary Gunda Niemann-Stirnemann convincingly took the gold medal, followed by her compatriots Emese Hunyady (silver) and Jacqueline Börner (bronze). For the Netherlands, Lia van Schie achieved a respectable eighth place in the standings.
