The glass is 6/6 of the “Rooie Sien” set and represents the award Heineken won. The Heineken Medaille d’Or (Golden Medal) was a significant award won by Heineken at the 1875 International Maritime Exposition in Paris, marking a pivotal moment that boosted its sales and export success, especially to France, and became a key part of its iconic label alongside other accolades like the Diplôme d’Honneur.
This award validated Heineken’s quality on an international stage, leading to increased exports and establishing it as a major beer exporter.
Legacy: The win helped solidify Heineken’s reputation and is featured on its labels, alongside other awards like the 1883 Diplôme d’Honneur in Amsterdam and the 1889 Grand Prix in Paris.
The glas has a nice image and a beautiful golden edge.
