Obverse

The obverse of the 20 Francs Belgian Gold Coin features the right-profile portrait of King Leopold II, showcasing his regal presence. The younger portrait, spanning from 1867 to 1870, captured the king with a bare head. In contrast, the coins minted from 1870 to 1882 boasted an older, more distinguished portrait, featuring King Leopold II with a longer, scruffy beard.

Reverse

On the reverse, marvel at the Belgian coat of arms, an emblem of national heritage and pride. A majestic lion graces the circular shield, adorned with a regal cape and crowned with a royal emblem. This side also bears the coin’s face value, symbolizing its intrinsic worth.
