At the end of the Synod of 1618/1619 all participants received a medal to thank them for their participation in the Synod.
In honour of 400 years of Dordtse Synode, the municipality of Dordrecht issued an art commission for the design of a contemporary Synod medal. The choice fell on the design of Dordrecht artist Theun Okkerse. Okkerse designed a commemorative medal in which past and present come together, inspired by the medal that the participants of the Synod of 1619 received.

The commemorative bronze medal is for sale in an edition of 500 pieces during ‘Ode aan de Synode’ at the Dordrechts Museum, the Grote Kerk, Het Hof van Nederland and the VVV Dordrecht.
