Belgium 5 francs King Leopold II Coinage KM-24 AU55 PCGS silver coin 1872

The Belgium 5 Francs silver coin of 1872 belongs to the classic coinage of King Leopold II, Belgium’s second monarch. On the obverse, it bears the finely detailed left-facing portrait of Leopold II, depicted with a full beard, surrounded by the inscription “LEOPOLD II ROI DES BELGES.” The reverse presents the crowned Belgian coat of arms: a rampant lion within a shield, flanked by laurel and oak branches tied with a ribbon. Above runs the national motto in French, “L’UNION FAIT LA FORCE” (“Unity Makes Strength”), while the denomination “5 F” is placed to either side of the shield, with the date “1872” at the bottom. The coin, struck in silver and catalogued as KM-24, is certified AU55 by PCGS, reflecting attractive detail and historical patina. Issued during the early years of Leopold II’s reign, this piece symbolizes Belgium’s national identity and growing prestige in Europe. A beautiful addition to any advanced numismatic collection.
