Comment
KM(2019) lists (but does not picture) a 100 Euro Franc Germinal coin, KM# 239, as a 2004 coin. Other sources identify the Franc Germinal coin as 2003 KM# 238. (KM lists a 100 Euro 2003 KM# 238 commemorating the 10th anniversary of the reign of Albert II. Confirmation of that coin has not been found.)Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features an error in its design. The coin was minted with an incorrect portrait of King Albert II, which was later corrected in subsequent mintages. This mistake has made the coin a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
