Interesting fact
The coin features a portrait of King Albert II on the obverse (front side), which was designed by the Belgian artist and engraver, Jan Alfons Keustermans. Keustermans was a well-known artist in Belgium and was chosen to design the coin's portrait in 1994. His design was chosen from among several other submissions and was ultimately used on the coin. This fact highlights the coin's unique design and the artist's skill in creating a lasting image of the king.
