The Belgium 2 Cents copper coin of 1912 is a remarkable early issue from the reign of King Albert I, remembered as the “Knight King” for his role during World War I. On the obverse, the coin proudly features the ornate crowned monogram “A,” representing Albert, surrounded by elegant scrollwork and the legend “ALBERT ROI DES BELGES.” The year of issue, 1912, is placed below, framed by a decorative border of tiny beads. The reverse displays the heraldic Belgian lion seated beside a stone tablet inscribed with “CONSTITUTION BELGE 1831,” symbolizing the birth of the Belgian constitutional monarchy. Above appears the French motto “L’UNION FAIT LA FORCE” (“Unity Makes Strength”), with the denomination “2 CENTS” boldly below and the engraver’s signature “BRAEMT F.” Struck in copper, this coin is certified MS68 by PCGS, an exceptional grade that underscores its rarity and preservation. A perfect blend of artistry, symbolism, and history, it stands as a prized gem in any collection of European numismatics.
