Main circulation coins (SECOND SERIES):
In 2009, Belgium issued the third series of everyday coins. It differs from the previous series in that it combined the first portrait of the chapter, placed on the 1999 - 2007 coins, and the changes in the reverse introduced to the second series of coins in 2008.
In the second series of coins, the portrait of the head was changed. However, this was contrary to the EU's provisions that a portrait reflecting a change in the appearance of a chapter may change every 15 years. Therefore, in the second quarter of 2008, the Belgian government was forced to restore the original portrait of the king.
That. Added a sign (BE) to Coins of the third series, indicating the issuing country; the year of issue and the monogram of King Albert II of Belgium have been moved from the outer ring to the inner part of the coin; the year of issue is also accompanied by the sign of the Mint.
