Belgium 1 franc Independence 50th Anniversary KM-38 AU58 PCGS silver coin 1880

The Belgium 1 Franc silver coin of 1880 was issued to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Belgian Independence, a historic milestone that shaped the nation’s identity. On the obverse, the coin presents conjoined portraits of King Leopold I, the founder of the Belgian monarchy, and his successor King Leopold II, who reigned during the anniversary. Both portraits are finely detailed, surrounded by inscriptions “LEOPOLD I” and “LEOPOLD II,” with a small star above and the engraver’s signature below, adding artistic precision. The reverse features the crowned Belgian coat of arms with the rampant lion in a shield, flanked by decorative branches and topped with a majestic royal crown. Around the edge appears the legend “ROYAUME DE BELGIQUE,” the denomination “1 F,” and the commemorative dates “1830–1880.” Struck in silver and certified AU58 by PCGS, this coin belongs to the KM-38 type and reflects both numismatic rarity and historical depth. It is a tangible tribute to Belgium’s struggle for independence and enduring monarchy.
