This bronze medal, created in 1817 by Belgian artist Joseph-Pierre Braemt, depicts Willem I Frederik, King of the Netherlands, in profile. The medal is a small, intimate work, measuring only 3.7 centimeters in diameter and weighing 22.33 grams. The simple design, focusing on the King's likeness, is characteristic of portrait medals, a popular art form in the 19th century. The piece likely commemorates the King's reign or a specific event, highlighting the historical significance of this small but detailed work.
