The Belgian 2 euro coin features a consistent national design that serves as a symbol of the nation’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, which represent the unity and harmony of the member states. To the right of the monarch’s image, the royal monogram of Albert II is displayed, positioned above the year of issue and the letters BE, which serve as the country code for Belgium. This design reflects the enduring role of the monarchy within the Belgian state and its integration into the broader European framework. The 2007 issue has a mintage of 35,000,000 coins.
