the engraver ofthe medal is Alphonse Michaux . The medal commemorates the exhibition in Liège (Belgium ) in 1905 and at the same time the 75 anniversary of Belgium : 1830-1905 .

for the bronze one , I found asking prices from €10 to €25 (1 € = US 1,2),depending the quality . When the medal was made for a local event , I think it was limited at a few hounderd and 40-50 in silver .This are the numbers for the 100th anniversary of the Holy Blood procession in Bruges in 1850 ( bronze 300 , silver 40 , gold plated 5 ).For your medal it is of course an important happening , medal made by an important engraver (he engraved alse Belgian coins ), but it was not the only medal for this event , so it is very difficult to make an estimate .Albert
