Uitbreken van de Belgische Revolutie 1830

This bronze medal, created by Adrien Hippolyte Veyrat in 1830, commemorates the Belgian Revolution. The obverse features a depiction of a lion, the symbol of Belgium, rising against a radiant sun, while the reverse displays a laurel wreath surrounding the inscription "Revolution of the Belgian People" and the date "25th August 1830." This small but powerful medal was likely produced for the public to remember and celebrate the independence of Belgium from the Netherlands. It's a compelling example of numismatic art, using a traditional format to memorialize a significant historical event.
