Verdediging van Brussel, penning door de stad uitgereikt aan de gewapende burgerij 1815

This gilded bronze medal, created in 1815 by an anonymous artist, commemorates the defense of Brussels during the Napoleonic Wars. The front of the medal depicts the city's patron saint, Michael, slaying a dragon. The back is inscribed in Latin, honoring the bravery of the city's defenders. The medal was issued by the city of Brussels and is a testament to the importance of the event in Belgian history. The medal is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.
