Uitbreken van de Belgische revolutie, op de wijsheid van Willem I Frederik, koning der Nederlanden 1830

This silver medal, created by Belgian artist Joseph-Pierre Braemt in 1830, commemorates the outbreak of the Belgian Revolution. The obverse features a female figure representing "Wisdom" holding a laurel wreath and a scepter, standing on a pedestal with the inscription "SAPIENTIA CIVILI DBE MV II NASSAVII" (Wisdom, Civil, the Second of Nassau). The reverse depicts a wreath of oak leaves with the inscription "AESTVANTE EVR[OP]A BELG. FOEDER STAB[ILIS] PACIS ARX ET PRAESIDIVM" (Amidst a Turbulent Europe, The Fortress and Defense of a Stable Peace in the Belgian Federation). The medal, a small but significant work of art, reflects the political turmoil of the time and the hope for a peaceful future for Belgium.
