Belgium, Medal of King Leopold II by A. Fonson – Allegorical Reverse with Victory Figure
Obverse
Portrait of King Leopold II of Belgium facing right, with full beard and high collar. Around: “LEOPOLD II ROI DES BELGES”. Below the neck truncation: signature of the medallist “A. FONSON”.
Reverse
Art Nouveau-style allegorical figure of Victory or Fame, striding left with flowing gown, holding a laurel wreath in one hand and a flaming torch in the other. No legend.
Historical context
This medal depicts Leopold II (r. 1865–1909), second King of the Belgians and a prominent – though controversial – figure in Belgian and colonial history. The medallist A. Fonson was active in the late 19th and early 20th century and known for his finely executed official portraiture. The reverse presents a classical personification, possibly Victory or Fame, in the elegant style of the Belle Époque, symbolizing peace or national glory. This type of medal was likely issued for commemorative or ceremonial purposes during or shortly after Leopold II’s reign.
