This bronze medal, "Verovering van de citadel van Antwerpen, ter ere van Lodewijk Filips, koning der Fransen," was created by Jean Pierre Montagny in 1832. The obverse depicts a profile portrait of King Louis-Philippe I of France. The reverse shows a winged figure holding a wreath, representing the "genius of France," standing on a globe and surrounded by the inscription "A LA VAILLANTE ET GENIE DE L'ARMEE FRANCAISE, REDUITRICE DE LA CITE D'ANVERS, LE 23 DECEMBRE 1832." The medal commemorates the French capture of the Citadel of Antwerp in 1832, a significant event during the Belgian Revolution.
