Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1991 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of King Baudouin's reign, but it was actually released in 1992, a year after his death. This coin is a rare and unique piece of numismatic history, as it serves as a tribute to the king's legacy and features an image of him on the obverse side. Additionally, the coin's silver composition and relatively low mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and enthusiasts of Belgian history.
