I was studying the label closely while finishing up a petite corona and noticed "Leopold Roi Des Belge" on the outside edge of the medallion to the left of the general. I thought this was interesting.
Can anyone shed some light on this? I did some searching and kind of came up empty.
I've never noticed that before, you must have been looking very closely. "Leopold Roi Des Belge", King Leopold of Belgium, was written on old Belgian coin. The medallion probably represents an award won in Belgium, sometime during the reign of one of the Leopolds.
