Eed van Leopold van Saksen-Coburg op de constitutie 1831

This small, silver medal, created in 1831 by an unknown artist, commemorates the oath of Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, the first king of the Belgians, to uphold the country's constitution. The medal is a small but significant historical artifact that reflects a critical moment in Belgian history. The front side of the medal features an archway with the inscription "CONSTITUTION 1831." This piece is a great example of commemorative medal design, a genre that often utilized symbolism to represent historical moments. It is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, showcasing the rich history of the Netherlands and its surrounding regions.
