Belgium 2 cents Albert I Coinage Lion Arms French Legend MS64 PCGS Cu coin 1912

The Belgium 2 Cents copper coin of 1912, struck at the beginning of King Albert I’s reign, carries both artistic beauty and historical symbolism. On the obverse, the design presents a crowned monogram “A” for Albert, decorated with intricate scrolls and surrounded by the inscription “ALBERT ROI DES BELGES.” Below appears the year of issue, 1912, finely framed within a beaded rim. The reverse features the heraldic Belgian lion seated proudly beside a stone tablet inscribed with “CONSTITUTION BELGE 1831,” symbolizing the foundation of the constitutional monarchy. Above runs the national motto in French, “L’UNION FAIT LA FORCE” (“Unity Makes Strength”), while the denomination “2 CENTS” is boldly engraved beneath the lion, with the engraver’s name “BRAEMT F.” at the bottom. Certified MS64 by PCGS, this coin combines superb condition with powerful national imagery. It stands as a tangible tribute to the early years of Albert I, known as the “Knight King” for his leadership during World War I.
