Flood Disaster Medals. Much of the Netherlands lies below sea level. The threat of flooding is thus ever-present. Dikes, dams and polders were created to control the water.

Thanks to this major intervention the country has since remained dry.GREGOR JOHANN MENDEL (1822-1884) botanist; Reverse of a medal issued in 1965, to commemorate the centenary of the publication of the hybridization of peas Silesian Museum in Katowice 1939 2015Medal Józef Bogusz 1904 1993/ Kraków Medical Association on the 100th Anniversary of His Birth, 2004, Bronze,W.H.
