Comment
Krause designates them wrongly as X, while they reportedly circulated alongside regular currency. Hence we list them alongside coins.The National Gallery sold these tokens for 25 Centimes, according to Morin (2012).
Interesting fact
This coin was minted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Belgium's independence, and it features an image of King Leopold II on one side and the Belgian coat of arms on the other. The coin was only produced for a short period of time, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
