Historical Background

The Oostendse Compagnie (Ostend Company) was founded in 1722 in the Austrian Netherlands (present-day Belgium). It traded with India and China and became one of Europes most successful East India trading companies before being dissolved in 1731 under international political pressure.

This medal/token was produced in 1980 to commemorate the companys history and was likely issued as a souvenir or promotional token during a commemorative event in Ostend.
