Historical Context:
This medal was issued for the music festival (Festival de Musique) held in Oudenaarde on 4 September 1904, an event that gathered regional music societies and orchestras. Such festivals were popular across Belgium in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often organized under royal or municipal patronage to promote cultural life and civic pride. The obverse shows the Belgian coat of arms, symbolizing national unity, while the reverse highlights the instruments of a traditional harmony orchestra. These medals were typically struck in bronze and distributed to participants or as commemorative keepsakes. Today, they are appreciated both as numismatic objects and as historical documents of Belgian musical culture.
