Belgium Uncertain Belgium medal #3

[Troy Tempest]

Lastly gents, this one was labelled Order of the Leopold II, but I have no idea if that is correct or not!

As usual, I thank you all in advance!

Hello Troy,

Also notice the bilingual moto (L'union fait la force - Eendracht maakt macht) in French and Dutch, which is usually a marker to judge the age of the medal: pre-1951 (one language, usually French); post 1951: two languages

cheers

PS: nice starting point for a Belgian collection...

Thanks for that love4history! I didn't notice that, and I'll keep my eye on it in the future!
