Interesting fact

The 1 Franc coin featuring Baudouin I (Dutch text) from Belgium, minted between 1989 and 1993, has an interesting fact associated with it. The coin's designer, Jan Alfons Keustermans, included a subtle design element on the coin's reverse side. If you look closely, you'll notice that the lines on the coin's background form the shape of a lion, which is a nod to the Belgian coat of arms. This hidden detail adds an extra layer of meaning and significance to the coin's design.
