This portrait medal with the image of Queen Louise d'Orléans was struck on the occasion of the foundation of the Church of Our Lady of Laeken. The reverse shows the church. Leopold Wiener used for this side the stamp engraved by his brother Jacques. Both medals are samples of the great craftsmanship of the talented Wiener family.
