Need help for a belgian Medal : 40th anniversary of the Albert & Paola marriage in 1999

Hi,

I don't have answer on the french forum, so i try here :)

I need help to identify this medal :


40th anniversary wedding of Albert & Paola Belgium
(both face on the same photo)

12.23g
30mm

This is a medal issued on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Albert & Paola marriage in 1999. Despite the modernity of this medal I can not find any info on it, neither on Numista, nor ebay or elsewhere.

If you sometimes give additional information, I am interested!

Hey there!

I happen to be from Belgium and I found an example of this token for you on a Belgian second-hand webshop.
To summarise the info on the medal:

• It was minted by the Belgian Royal Mint in 1999
  
• It's made of 22.85g of sterling silver (so 92.5% purity)
  
• It is a Proof medal
  
• There were 5000 of these made
  
• It was designed by J. Keustermans
  

You can find all of this info (along with info on the rarer gold version) on the certificate of authenticity in the linked advert below.

Hope this answers your question!

Thanks a lot for your information !

As i see, the caracteristics don't match. I think it could have a medal in another metal.
