The Belgian 2 euro coin features a consistent national design that serves as a symbol of the country’s constitutional monarchy. At the centre of the coin, the effigy of King Albert II is depicted in profile, facing towards the left. Encircling the royal portrait are the twelve stars of the European Union, representing the unity and shared values of the member states. To the right of the monarch’s head, the royal monogram is displayed, accompanied by the country code BE and the year of issue. This design reflects Belgium's long-standing tradition of featuring the reigning sovereign on its currency, maintaining a direct link to the nation's historical governance and royal heritage. The coin was issued in 2006 with a mintage of 20,000,000 pieces.
