Verovering van de citadel van Antwerpen 1832

This silver medal, created by Laurent Joseph Hart in 1832, commemorates the Siege of Antwerp, a key event in the Belgian Revolution. The obverse depicts the scene of the siege, with the Citadel of Antwerp, a rooster, and a cannon firing. The reverse features an inscription in French, praising the victory of the Belgian forces. The medal, housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a small but poignant piece of history, a reminder of the complex political events that shaped the 19th century.
