Obverse:
The obverse of this striking 20 Francs coin features an elegantly crafted portrait of King Léopold II, depicted in profile, facing right. His features are finely detailed, conveying his regal stature and authority. The inscription surrounding the portrait reads "LEOPOLD II ROI DES BELGES" (Léopold II, King of the Belgians), clearly identifying the monarch and the country of issue. Below the portrait, the minting year and the designer's initials are prominently displayed. This classic portrait captures the essence of Léopold II's reign, which began in 1865 and spanned over four decades, marked by both his industrial achievements and controversial legacy.
Reverse:
The reverse of the coin showcases the crowned coat of arms of Belgium, symbolizing the unity and sovereignty of the Belgian Kingdom. The coat of arms is adorned with intricate details, reflecting the heraldic tradition of Belgium. Above the arms is the national motto in French: "L'UNION FAIT LA FORCE" (Unity Makes Strength), encapsulating the strength derived from unity. Below the coat of arms is the value of the coin, “20 FR, ” indicating its denomination as 20 Francs. This reverse design emphasizes Belgium’s national pride and its commitment to unity and strength during a period of national consolidation.
