Belgium 2 cents Leopold II Coinage Lion Arms French Legend MS64 PCGS coin 1870

The Belgium 2 Cents copper coin of 1870 is a distinguished issue from the reign of King Leopold II, Belgium’s second monarch. The obverse displays the elaborate royal monogram “L” beneath a finely detailed crown, framed by flowing ornaments and the inscription “LEOPOLD II ROI DES BELGES.” The date “1870” is placed clearly at the bottom, encircled by a beaded rim. On the reverse, the design depicts the heraldic Belgian lion seated proudly beside a stone tablet engraved with “CONSTITUTION BELGE 1831,” symbolizing the constitutional monarchy established after independence. Above runs the French motto “L’UNION FAIT LA FORCE” (“Unity Makes Strength”), while the bold denomination “2 CENTS” appears below, accompanied by the engraver’s name “BRAEMT F.” Certified MS64 by PCGS, this coin is admired for its sharp strike, historical resonance, and rich copper tone. It represents both the early years of Leopold II’s reign and Belgium’s enduring national ideals.
