Commentary


J. FONSON sur la tranche correspondrait au graveur belge Josuë Dupon (1864-1935), mais cette attribution est curieuse avec une médaille de 1947 !?

Jules Fonson (1871-1937) était le président de la Chambre de Commerce de Bruxelles. Une plaquette à son effigie a été réalisée par le graveur Godefroid Devreese (1861-1941).

Le Perron de Liège est un perron-fontaine situé sur la place du Marché à Liège en face de l'hôtel de ville. Ce monument, représentant les libertés liégeoises, est le symbole de la Ville de Liège.
L'hôtel de ville de Bruxelles est un édifice de style gothique et classique situé sur la Grand-Place de Bruxelles en Belgique, au sud de la place. Il fait face à la Maison du Roi. Il constitue le seul vestige médiéval de la Grand-Place et est considéré comme un chef-d'œuvre de l'architecture gothique civile et plus particulièrement du gothique brabançon..
J. FONSON on the edge would correspond to the Belgian engraver Josuë Dupon (1864-1935), but this attribution is curious with a medal from 1947!? Jules Fonson (1871-1937) was the president of the Brussels Chamber of Commerce. A plaque bearing his image was produced by the engraver Godefroid Devreese (1861-1941). The Perron de Liège is a fountain-perron located on the Market Square in Liège opposite the town hall. This monument, representing the freedoms of Liège, is the symbol of the City of Liège. The Brussels Town Hall is a Gothic and Classical style building located on the Grand-Place in Brussels, Belgium, to the south of the square. It faces the Maison du Roi. It is the only medieval vestige of the Grand-Place and is considered a masterpiece of civil Gothic architecture and more particularly of Brabant Gothic.

Historical background


BELGIUM - KINGDOM OF BELGIUM - REIGN OF LEOPOLD III

(17/12/1934-21/9/1944-16/7/1951)

Son of Albert I and grand-nephew of Leopold II, Leopold III became king following the accidental death of his father. In 1936, faced with threats of war, he put an end to the alliance with France and reaffirmed the neutrality of Belgium. In 1940, during the German invasion, he took command of the army but was quickly forced to sign an unconditional surrender. A prisoner of war, he refused any collaboration and ceased all political activity. Taken to Germany then liberated by the Allies, he retired to Switzerland while a regency was entrusted to his brother, Prince Charles (September 21, 1944). Much criticized, he regained the throne in 1950 after a referendum on the resumption of his powers. Welcomed by strikes and demonstrations, he then named Baudoin "royal prince" then abdicated in his favor in July 1951. He died in 1983.
