Belgium Currency: The Coins

All Belgian euro coins show the effigy of Albert II, King of the Belgians, encircled by the twelve stars of the European Union with the royal monogram (capital 'A' and crown) to the right. The edge lettering on the €2 coin is 2**, repeated six times, alternately upright and inverted.

The eight denominations of euro coins vary in size, weight, colour and thickness depending on their values. It's a good idea for you to see what Belgium Currency looks like before you get to Belgium. See below for coin and banknotes samples.

Belgium Currency: The Banknotes

The notes come in 5-, 10-, 20-, 50-, 100-, 200- and 500-euro denominations. There are various security features in the notes, such as a watermark, security thread and hologram, to stop counterfeiters and help recognise a genuine banknote.
