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 surrounded by the twelve stars of the European Union, representing the unity and harmony of the member states. To the right of the royal profile, the royal monogram 'FP' is prominently displayed, topped by a crown, while the country code 'BE' is positioned beneath the year of issue. This design serves as a symbol of the Belgian monarchy's continuity and its role within the broader European framework. The coin was issued in 2017 with a mintage of 20,000 pieces.
