België behoudt haar onafhankelijkheid in 1848 1848

This bronze medal by Adolphe Jouvenel commemorates the Belgian independence in 1830. The obverse features a profile portrait of Leopold I, the first King of the Belgians, while the reverse showcases the heraldic arms of the nine provinces of Belgium surrounding a radiant star, symbolizing unity. This medal is a testament to the historical significance of the Belgian independence and serves as a reminder of the country's proud heritage. The small size and weight of the medal, measuring 2.8 cm in diameter and 13.19 grams, suggest it was intended for private or personal use. It is now housed at the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands, a testament to the interconnectedness of European history and art.
