Metalen Kruis 1830-1831 met blauw-geel lint after 1832

This is a bronze medal, known as "Metalen Kruis", designed to commemorate the Belgian Revolution of 1830. It depicts a cross with the inscription "TROUW AAN BELGIE" (Loyalty to Belgium) on the top, "VADERLAND" (Fatherland) on the left, "MONARCHIE" (Monarchy) on the right, and "1830-1831" and "1832" on the bottom, all within a wreath of laurel. The cross is attached to a yellow and blue ribbon. While the artist remains anonymous, the medal is a poignant artifact that reflects the historical context of the Belgian revolution.
