Each medal bears the likeness of European rulers—most prominently King Leopold II of Belgium—alongside symbolic imagery and inscriptions that celebrate events and achievements of the era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe central placement of a winged Victory, surrounded by crowned portrait medallions in bronze, gilt, and silvered finishes, lends both hierarchy and rhythm to the arrangement.
