The Belgian 2 euro standard circulation coin features the effigy of King Philippe, who has served as the monarch of the Belgians since 2013. Designed by Luc Luycx, the national side showcases the King in profile, facing towards the left. Encircling the portrait are the twelve stars of the European Union, alongside the royal monogram and the country code BE, which identifies the issuing state. This design reflects the constitutional monarchy that remains a central pillar of Belgian national identity and governance. The portrait serves as a formal representation of the head of state on the nation's primary currency, maintaining continuity with the established design standards for Belgian euro coinage. This standard issue coin was produced in 2021 with a mintage of 13,000 pieces.
