Comment
There are different portraits (design and size best recognizable at the design of the ear) on the obverse.Interesting fact
The 1 Franc coin featuring Albert II of Belgium has a unique feature - it has a Dutch inscription on one side and a French inscription on the other. This is because Belgium is a bilingual country, with Dutch and French being the two official languages. This coin was minted between 1994 and 2001, and it's a nod to the country's linguistic diversity.
