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, which consists of the letter P placed beneath a crown. To the right of the monarch’s profile, the national identification letters BE are displayed, signifying the Kingdom of Belgium. Below the portrait, the year of issue is inscribed alongside the marks of the Mint Master and the Brussels Mint. This design reflects the constitutional monarchy that serves as a central pillar of the Belgian state and its modern governance. The coin was issued in 2023.
