The Belgium 2009 Economic and Monetary Union 2 euro commemorative coin celebrates the tenth anniversary of the introduction of the euro as a common currency. The design features a stylised human figure whose arm extends into the euro symbol, representing the integration of the European economy and the transition from traditional trade to a unified financial system. This graphic motif, created through a competition among European citizens, symbolises the collective identity of the eurozone nations and their shared commitment to economic stability. The national side also displays the royal effigy of King Albert II, which is a standard feature on Belgian coinage, alongside the country code BE and the year of issue. This coin was issued in 2009 with a mintage of 5,000,000 pieces.
