Louis Joseph de Potter, verdediger van de onafhankelijkheid van België 1830

This commemorative medal, created in 1830 by an anonymous artist, honors Louis Joseph de Potter, a Belgian politician who played a key role in the country's independence movement. The medal, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a portrait of de Potter on one side and the Belgian lion, a symbol of the country, on the other. It serves as a reminder of the crucial role played by de Potter in the Belgian Revolution and the subsequent establishment of Belgium as an independent nation.
