This coin was designed by the famous Belgian artist and sculptor, Constantine Meunier. Meunier was known for his work in various fields, including sculpture, painting, and architecture. He was particularly famous for his sculptures of animals and people, and his work can be found in various museums and public spaces across Belgium. The Pattern 1000 Francs coin features a design of a standing lion on one side and the Belgian coat of arms on the other, both of which were created by Meunier.
