Belgian euro coins, with images, characteristics and history
The national designs on the Belgian euro coins represent elements of their national coins currently in circulation.
Belgian euro coins feature only a single design for all eight coins: the portrait or effigy of King Albert II of the Belgians and his royal monogram: a capital "A" underneath a crown.
Also part of the design by Jan Alfons Keustermans, Director of the Municipal Academy of Fine Arts of Turnhout, are the 12 stars of the European Union and the year of imprint.
