This silver award was struck by the city council of Louvain. It was given for civil gallantry, eg stopping a runaway horse and cart, disarming robbers, etc. It has its original silk ribbon, somewhat faded. The medal is about 32mm in diameter.

I'd just like to thank you for the SS Buckle, this has to be one of the best items I have yet and am very happy with it.
