The Belgian 2 euro standard circulation coin features the effigy of King Philippe, who ascended to the throne in 2013. Designed by Luc Luycx, the portrait faces to the left and is accompanied by the royal monogram 'FP' positioned to the right. Surrounding the central image are the twelve stars of the European Union, arranged in a circular pattern, with the country code 'BE' and the year of issue placed alongside the design. This iconography reflects the constitutional monarchy of Belgium, representing the continuity of the state and the role of the sovereign as a unifying figure in the nation's history. The coin was minted in 2015 with a total mintage of 45,000 pieces for this specific issue.
