This bronze medal, "75-Jarig bestaan van Fabrique Nationale, wapenfabriek te Luik", commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Fabrique Nationale, a weapons factory in Liège, Belgium. Created in 1964 by Louis Pierre Henriquel-Dupont, a renowned medalist, the medal features two sides. One depicts a symbolic representation of the factory with two female figures holding up a pineapple-shaped object with the letters "FN" and dates "1889" and "1964". The other shows a muscular, nude male figure, representing strength, using a slingshot to launch an object symbolizing the factory's production. The medal serves as a testament to the legacy of the Fabrique Nationale and its contributions to the industrial landscape of Belgium.
