  • Notes 
    • Together with his older brother Jacques and brother Karel (known as Charles), were considered extraordinary engravers and medallists. Leopold studied with his older brother, Jacques, and afterwards became a pupil of David D'Angers in Paris. He returned to Belgium in 1847 and produced a series of large historical medals celebrating contemporary events. In 1864 he was appointed the first engraver to the Belgium mint, holding this post until his death. He was responsible for all the currency of Leopold II - some 150 pieces. He also had a repuation as a sculptor and several of his pieces can be seen in public places in Belgium. Of special Jewish interest was his 1859 portrait of Henry Loeb, Chief Rabbi of Belgium.
