Obverse

The left profile portrait of King Albert II (modified from the one on the 1999-2007 coins) is surrounded by the twelve stars of the Union, between two of which are the letters BE for "Belgium" and the royal monogram: an A with the numeral II underneath, topped by a crown.

As of 2009, the effigy is again the same as on the 1999-2007 coins, because the change of effigy in 2008 was contrary to the recommendations of the ECOFIN Council. Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Le portrait de profil gauche du roi Albert II (modifié par rapport à celui présent sur les pièces 1999-2007) est entouré des douze étoiles de l'Union entre deux desquelles se trouve les lettres BE pour "Belgique" et le monogramme royal : un A avec le chiffre II en dessous, surmonté d'une couronne.

À partir de 2009, l'effigie est à nouveau celle figurant sur les pièces de 1999 à 2007, car la modification de l'effigie en 2008 était contraire aux recommandations du Conseil ECOFIN.
