Koninklijke Academie van Wetenschappen en Letteren te Brussel 1816

This silver medal, created by Joseph-Pierre Braemt in 1816, features a profile portrait of King William I of the Netherlands on the obverse and a laurel wreath surrounding the inscription “Palma Academi. Regiae Scientiae. Et Liter. Bruxell. Ex Largit. Princ.” on the reverse. The medal commemorates the Royal Academy of Sciences and Letters in Brussels and was likely awarded as a prize to a member of the academy. The piece exemplifies the neoclassical style that was popular during the early 19th century.
