Interesting fact
The 10 Francs - Baudouin I (French text) 1969-1979 coin from Belgium made of Nickel weighing 8 g has an interesting fact that it was designed by the artist, Victor Dourlen, who was a well-known sculptor and engraver from Belgium. He designed the coin's obverse side, which features the portrait of King Baudouin, while the reverse side was designed by another artist, Pierre Vaga. This coin was minted during a time when Belgium was still using the Franc as its currency, before switching to the Euro in 2002.
