A beautiful example of a royal gift to a military subject. A finely rendered medallion in the shape of a Maltese Cross with a royal crown surmounted at the top. Exquisitely modeled in sterling silver with polychromatic enamels decorating both the front and the reverse. The royal monogram of King Leopold I is central to the piece. I've added a sterling silver bale to the top. Perfect for a pop of color on a chain or equally as good suspended from a bracelet. Incredibly detailed and refined. 28mm height by 15mm wide. Chain may be purchased separately.
