This octagonal silver medal was created by Theodorus Victor van Berckel in 1786 to commemorate the founding of the General Seminary in Leuven, Belgium. The obverse features a profile portrait of Maria Christina and Albert-Kasimir, the governors of the Southern Netherlands. The reverse is inscribed with a Latin dedication to the "alumni" (graduates) of the seminary. The medal, measuring 3.4 cm in diameter, is a fine example of 18th-century medallic art and provides insight into the history of the seminary and its patrons.
