Comment
From 1848 to 1850, Adolphe-Christian Jouvenel engraved and published in Brussels a collection of 25 bronze medals in ±47 mm modules, depicting portraits of "Belgium's great men". At the time, each medal was sold for 4 Belgian francs.34 mm bronze or brass tokens reproducing some of these medals were also engraved, to make the publication accessible to all, according to the prospectus of the time, with a more democratic selling price of 50 centimes.
