This bronze medal, dated 1649, depicts Leonard Van der Noot, a magistrate of the treasury of Brussels and the 35th intendant of the Brussels waterway. The front side showcases his coat of arms with the inscription "LEONARDUS VAN DER NOOT MAGISTRATUS." The back side displays a view of Brussels with a boat sailing on the river Senne, and the inscription "CIVITATIS BRUXELLENSIS," which translates to "City of Brussels." The medal, created by an anonymous artist, is a small but significant piece of numismatic art, illustrating the history of Brussels in the 17th century.
