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. Below the monogram, the country code 'BE' is displayed, alongside the year of issue and the mint marks of the Brussels Mint. This design reflects the constitutional monarchy of Belgium, symbolising the continuity of the state and the role of the sovereign as the head of the nation. The outer ring of the coin displays the twelve stars of the European Union, representing the unity and harmony of the member states. This coin was issued in 2019 with a mintage of 3,200,000 pieces.
