Het beeld werd gemaakt door Pieter-Jan Braecke, een kunstenaar van Nieuwpoort. Het is afkomstig van de Nationale Bank van België. Het staat sinds 1955 in het Leopold II-park. Het beeld stelt een putto voor als de beschermengel van de Belgische Frank. Het kind, uitgedost als een Romeinse soldaat, en de Belgische leeuw beschermen het kasboek en de geldbeurs van de BNB (Banque Nationale Nationale Bank), omwikkeld door een olijftak.

The statue was created by Pieter-Jan Braecke, an artist from Nieuwpoort. Originally it belonged to the National Bank of Belgium. In 1955 it was given to Nieuwpoort. The statue represents a putto, acting like the guardian angel of the Belgian franc. The putto, dressed as a Roman soldier, and the Belgian lion protect the money and cash book of the BNB (Banque Nationale National Bank), wrapped by an olive branch.
