This image depicts a commemorative coin honoring the "Place des Martyrs" (Martyrs' Square) and the events of September 1830.
The coin commemorates a significant moment in Belgian history, likely related to the Belgian Revolution of 1830, which led to Belgium's independence from the United Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The "Place des Martyrs" in Brussels is a square dedicated to those who died during the revolution.
The imagery on the coin shows figures in period attire, including a central figure holding a flag, possibly symbolizing the revolutionary spirit.
The inscription "SEPTEMBRE 1830" clearly references the month and year when key events of the revolution took place.
