Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of King Leopold II's reign, who was known for his controversial rule over the Congo Free State, where he implemented forced labor and other human rights abuses. Despite this, the coin features an image of King Albert II, who reigned from 1993 to 2013, on the obverse, and King Leopold II on the reverse. This coin is a unique example of a commemorative coin that highlights the complex history of the Belgian monarchy.
