Overview

Historical significance

This coin was part of the post-WWII coinage of Belgium during the reign of King Baudouin. It reflects the nation's bilingual tradition, as these coins were minted in two versions: one with French legends ('BELGIQUE') and one with Dutch legends ('BELGIE').

Estimated value

$0.10 - $1.00 USD (Depending on condition and specific year)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place within a PVC-free holder. Avoid cleaning or polishing as it can strip away the original patina and significantly reduce its numismatic value.
