Protest tegen de instemming van graaf de Theux, minister van Binnen- en Buitenlandse Zaken, met het besluit om Luxemburg en Limburg te verdelen tussen België en Nederland 1839

This small, bronze medal, created in 1839 by an anonymous artist, expresses the public outrage against the decision to divide the provinces of Luxembourg and Limburg between Belgium and the Netherlands. One side of the medal reads "A De Theux Ministre Universal," a condemnation of the minister who supported this controversial decision. The other side reads "Un Infame," or "A Scoundrel," further emphasizing the public's negative sentiment towards the minister's actions. This medal is a powerful example of how art can be used to voice political dissent.
