Eed van Leopold van Saksen-Coburg op de constitutie 1831

This commemorative medal, created by Joseph-Pierre Braemt in 1831, marks the oath of Leopold I, King of the Belgians, to uphold the Belgian Constitution. The obverse, featuring a lion with the motto "L'union fait la force" (Unity makes strength), symbolizes the newly established Belgian state. The reverse commemorates the date of the oath, July 21, 1831. This small silver medal, measuring only 2.5 cm in diameter, is a powerful reminder of a significant moment in Belgian history.
