Interesting fact
The Pattern 25 Francs - Léopold I (Pattern) 1847 was designed by Belgian artist and engraver, Charles-Michel de l'Épée. He was a prominent artist of the time and is known for his work on various coins and medals. The coin features a portrait of King Léopold I on one side and an image of a lion on the other. The lion is a symbol of strength and courage, which was a common motif in Belgian coinage during this period.
