The 2022 Belgium 2 euro commemorative coin celebrates the thirty-fifth anniversary of the Erasmus Programme, a landmark European initiative that has facilitated student mobility and cultural exchange since 1987. The national side features a stylised portrait of Desiderius Erasmus, the Dutch philosopher and humanist for whom the programme is named, depicted alongside a network of interconnected lines representing the academic and personal links forged between participants across the continent. This design reflects Belgium’s commitment to European integration and the importance of cross-border education in shaping a shared identity. The coin is issued in a standard circulation format. The mintage for this 2022 issue is 1,000,000 coins.
