This 1830 silver medal, created by Adrien Hippolyte Veyrat, commemorates Louis Joseph de Potter, a Belgian lawyer and politician known for his role in the Belgian Revolution. The obverse features a profile portrait of de Potter, while the reverse displays a wreath of oak leaves surrounding the words "LIBERTE PATRIE" and the year 1790. The medal reflects the ideals of freedom and patriotism associated with the revolution. This small, yet significant, work is a testament to Veyrat's skill in medallic portraiture and his ability to capture the spirit of a historical moment.
