The 2014 Belgium 2 euro commemorative coin honours the 150th anniversary of the Belgian Red Cross. The national side features a central cross, which serves as the internationally recognised symbol of the organisation. Within the horizontal bar of the cross, the number 150 is inscribed, representing the century and a half of humanitarian service provided by the institution since its founding in 1864. Surrounding the cross are the inscriptions 'Belgique' and 'Belgie', along with the years 1864 and 2014. This design pays tribute to the vital role the Red Cross plays in the nation’s social fabric and its commitment to providing relief during times of crisis. This coin was issued in 2014 with a mintage of 225,000 pieces.
