Historical Context:
Issued in 1976 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Veterani Leopoldi III, an association of veterans loyal to former King Leopold III, who had abdicated in 1951. The use of Latin on the reverse reflects a formal tone typical of royalist and military commemorations. Designed by medallist RAV, the clean, modernist style highlights the enduring symbolic status of Leopold III among certain segments of the Belgian military and veteran community.
