Erkenning van de onafhankelijkeid van het koninkrijk België door de XXIV Artikelen van de conferentie van Londen 1831

This silver medal, created by Laurent Joseph Hart in 1831, commemorates the recognition of Belgium’s independence by the great powers of Europe. The obverse of the medal features a crown above the inscription “Leopold I. Roi des Belges”, celebrating the newly crowned King Leopold I. The reverse features an inscription listing the countries involved in the London Conference of 1831, who agreed to the 24 articles that formally recognized Belgium’s independence. The medal, small in size, served as a tangible reminder of this historical moment for the Belgian people.
