We present an exceptional, collectible plaque (medallion) featuring the image of the Belgian Queen, constituting an elegant and historical work of medallic art. This unique item is likely a portrait of one of the Belgian monarchs, such as Elisabeth of Bavaria, Astrid of Sweden, or Fabiola de Mora y Aragón, made for commemorative purposes, as a decorative element or patriotic souvenir.

Plaques of this type enjoyed immense popularity in Europe at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. They were cast in metal (often bronze, brass, or silvered), and then carefully chiseled to capture the subtle facial features, details of the hairstyle, and royal insignia. Today, they constitute a valuable iconographic document and a desirable object for collectors of phaleristics, monarchists, and enthusiasts of Belgian history.

Why is this plaque exceptional?

• Historical value: It directly references the heritage of the Belgian monarchy, one of the oldest and most stable in Europe.


• Craftsmanship: The high quality of the casting indicates the work of a talented engraver or medallic workshop.


• Collector versatility: It will interest both collectors of numismatics and phaleristics, as well as enthusiasts of history, decorative arts, and patriotic jewelry.


• Decorative potential: The plaque can become the centerpiece of a cabinet of curiosities, be framed, or used as an unusual element of men's jewelry (e.g., a fob).

This is an offer for a discerning collector who appreciates the combination of art, craftsmanship, and history. The plaque "Belgian Queen as a pair" is an invitation to possess a fragment of European royal heritage.
