At the base you will find the round label of the KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL.

"De abdij van Sint-Truiden, ook wel abdij van Sint-Trudo, is een voormalige benedictijnerabdij in de Belgisch-Limburgse stad Sint-Truiden. Gesticht in de 7e eeuw, hoorde de abdij tot de oudste en machtigste abdijen in de Nederlanden en stond ze tevens aan de oorsprong van de stad Sint-Truiden, die rondom de abdij groeide. De abdijkerk, in 1798 gesloopt, was een grote romaanse kerk, gewijd aan de heiligen Remaclus en Quintinus."
