Erepenning voor George, een tot slaaf gemaakte man
An uprising erupted in the Surinamese district of Nickerie in 1836. George, who worked on the Leasowes Plantation, provided the colonial authorities with crucial information leading to the arrest of a number of enslaved people. He was rewarded with this medal. Colin, the leader of the revolt, was sentenced to death, but to this day he has continued to play a role in the oral tradition of Suriname for predicting the abolition of slavery
