Belgium 5 francs King Leopold II Position A KM-24 MS62 PCGS silver coin 1873

The Belgium 5 Francs silver coin of 1873, certified MS62 by PCGS, is a striking numismatic piece from the reign of King Leopold II. Catalogued as KM-24, this variety is noted as Position A, referring to a distinctive die alignment that adds special appeal for collectors. The obverse depicts a sharp left-facing portrait of Leopold II, shown with his prominent beard and dignified profile, surrounded by the inscription “LEOPOLD II ROI DES BELGES.” The engraver’s name, Leopold Wiener, appears discreetly below the bust. On the reverse, the crowned Belgian coat of arms dominates the design: the rampant lion within a shield, framed by laurel and oak branches tied with a bow. Above is the French motto “L’UNION FAIT LA FORCE” (“Unity Makes Strength”), with the denomination “5 F” at the sides and the date “1873” below. Struck in silver, this certified Mint State coin offers excellent preservation, sharp details, and luster, making it a remarkable addition for collectors of 19th-century European coinage.
