This bronze medal, created by M. Borrel in 1831, commemorates Leopold I, King of the Belgians, and his role in establishing a representative government. The medal is a circular, 4.1 cm diameter disc with an inscription on each side, enclosed by a wreath of leaves. On one side, it reads "Leopold, Roi des Belges - Installe les Chambres" while the other side reads "Aux Amis des Libertes Publiques". This piece exemplifies the use of commemorative medallions in 19th-century Belgium, reflecting a historical shift toward democratic ideals.
