Smaller than a quarter, 5.6 grams. Seller provided no description. Here's what I can read: PATR. (...)AL. REG. E(T) (O)RD. SOLEN (S)ACRAM. ASSERTA. MDCCCXV. WILH(...)S. BELG. REX. LUXEMB. M.DUX Identified - moved to Medals forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 02/12/2010 12:56 pm This is a medal with the effigy of king William I of the Netherlands: Wilh. Nass. Belg. Rex Luxemb. M. Dux means William of Nassau, king of the Belgians, grandduke of Luxemburg. The text on the other side is "Patr. Sal. Reg. et Ord. Solen. Sacram. Asserta" with year MDCCCXV = 1815 I have no idea of the meaning, but William I was created king of the Netherlands after the defeat of Napoleon in Waterloo in 1815. The Netherlands comprised the Southern and Northern Netherlands, nowadays Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg. In 1830 Belgium declared its independence of the Netherlands and rejected William I as king. The designer of this medal is F. Van de Goor, whose name was put right beneath the effigy.
