Verenigde Belgische Staten 1790

Theodoros Victor van Berckel's silver medal, *Verenigde Belgische Staten* (1790), depicts a lion holding a sword and a shield, symbolizing the newly formed United Belgian States. The inscription reads "Domini Est Regnum" (The Lord's is the Kingdom) and features the motto "Libertas," emphasizing freedom. The reverse side showcases a complex design with the coats of arms of the ten provinces that composed the United Belgian States, reflecting the nation's newly forged identity. The medal serves as a testament to the aspirations of the revolution and the hopes for a united and free Belgium.
