Circulation coins

First embossing series (1999-2007)

All eight coins have the same motif: the portrait of King Albert II and his royal monogram. The design incorporates the EU and the twelve stars and the year of issue. Like most Euro countries coined Belgium from 2007 its euro coins with the newly designed front ( new map of Europe ). The design of the Aspect were designed by Jan Alfons Keustermans.

Second embossing series (2008)

Already in 2007, Belgium had marked the redesigned front joint ( new map of Europe ) on his coins. 2008 Belgium began with the excited by the EU redesign of the euro coins. The national side of the coins of the second embossing series 2008 are different from those of the first by the following details: The portrait of King Albert II has been updated and right are his monogram and the country code BE. The year is now below the portraits, together with the character of the Belgian mint in Brussels - Archangel Michael slaying the devil - and a balance for the mint master Romain Coenen. The design of the second embossing series comes from Luc Luyckx. Differences in the design can be seen on the cheekbones and on the cowlick in addition to the front of the king.

Third embossing series (2009-2013)

For the 2009-2013 imprints the portrait of King Albert II was changed once again, and though the design by Jan Alfons Keustermans was again, as in the first embossing series used. According to the recommended by the Commission of the European Communities for the national sides of euro circulation coins on 19 December 2008 guidelines is permitted Münzmotive representing the Head of State to update every fifteen years to reflect changes in the appearance of the head of state bill. The new guidelines, however, according to the 2008 update came too early and was, therefore, to revise. The other changes in the redesign of 2008 were retained, however.

The office of moneyer held from 2009 to 2012 Serge reading, so that the coin bear from 2010 to 2012 as a spring be Münzmeisterzeichen. From 2013 a cat for the reigning master of the mint Bernard Gillard is now embossed on the coins.
