Commentary
Adolphe Jouvenel, né en 1798 à Lille et décédé à Bruxelles en 1867, est un médailleur français actif à Bruxelles. Après s’être formé auprès de François Rude à Paris il alla s'établir en Belgique où il devint graveur du Roi Léopold Ier. Il produisit de 1818 à 1860 de nombreuses médailles à sujet historiques, commémoratifs ou reproduisant le portait de personnalités de son temps.
Hubert Joseph Walthère Frère, dit Frère-Orban est né à Liège le 24 avril 1812 et est décédé le 2 janvier 1896 à Bruxelles. Docteur en droit, avocat à la Cour d'appel et à la Commission des hospices civils de Liège, cet homme politique libéral belge a marqué de son empreinte le premier demi-siècle d'indépendance belge. Il put se consacrer à la vie politique grâce à la fortune de sa femme, Claire-Hélène Orban (1815-1890), riche héritière d'Henri Orban-Rossius.
Fondateur du parti libéral en 1846 dont il restera président jusqu'à sa mort, il fut ministre des finances de 1848 à 1852 et de 1857 à 1870, et Premier ministre à deux reprises, la première de 1868 à 1870 et la seconde de 1878 à 1884. Conseiller communal dès 1840, puis député de Liège dès 1847, il resta à ce poste jusqu'en 1894.
Frère-Orban propose en 1851 d'imposer aussi les successions en ligne directe. Depuis 1817 en effet, seules les successions entre collatéraux sont taxées. Cette proposition suscite une opposition virulente des classes possédantes dont le ministre est pourtant issu et provoque la chute du gouvernement libéral aux élections législatives de 1852.

Historical background
BELGIUM - KINGDOM OF BELGIUM - LEOPOLD I
(4/06/1831-10/12/1865)
Leopold (16/12/1790-10/12/1865) is the son of François de Saxe-Cobourg and the uncle of Victoria I. He fights Napoleon in the Russian army. Naturalized English in 1816, he married Charlotte of Hanover and found himself a widower the following year. Léopold had just refused the crown of Greece when he was elected King of the Belgians on June 4, 1831. The following year, he married Louise d'Orléans (1812-1850), the daughter of Louis-Philippe. She gives him three children including Leopold II and Charlotte, the unfortunate wife of Maximilian of Austria, shot in Mexico. He is morganatically married to the actress Caroline Bauer from whom he must separate to marry the daughter of the King of the French. The London Conference of July 1831 settled territorial problems and the treaty of eighteen articles was accepted by the National Congress on July 9, 1831. Leopold was triumphantly welcomed on July 21, 1831. He had to fight against the Dutch army and received the nickname of "shield of Belgium", safeguarding the independence of the "flat country" against the Prussia of William I and the France of Napoleon III. He relies politically on England.
