Opening van het Kanaal van Terneuzen naar Gent, ter ere van Willem I Frederik, koning der Nederlanden, penning aangeboden door de Staten van Oost-Vlaanderen en Zeeland en de raad van Gent 1827

This silver medal, created by Joseph-Pierre Braemt in 1827, commemorates the opening of the Terneuzen Canal to Ghent. The obverse depicts a profile portrait of King Willem I Frederik of the Netherlands, while the reverse portrays a male figure representing Neptune, holding a trident and pointing to a ship, symbolizing the canal. This commemorative medal was a gift from the provinces of East Flanders and Zeeland, and the City Council of Ghent to honor King Willem I Frederik for his role in the project.
