Royal Mint of Belgium

The Royal Mint of Belgium, part of the Federal Public Service Finance, is responsible for guaranteeing the quality and circulation of coins in Belgium. It is responsible for commissioning the coins, choosing their themes, creating their designs and putting them into circulation.

  • How to buy our commemorative coins ?

    Since 2018 and till 31 December 2029, our coins are minted and marketed by the Royal Dutch Mint, in Utrecht, on behalf of the Royal Mint of Belgium. The Belgian State remains the official issuing authority for the coins.

    Visit our partner site: www.piecescommemoratives.be. Here you will find all the information you need about the coins in the Royal Belgian Mint's official collection, including launch dates, issues and how to buy them. It is important to note that the Royal Dutch Mint sets itself sales prices, without the intervention of the Royal Mint of Belgium.

    End-of-stock coins are also sometimes available for sale via Finshop, the official sales site of the FPS Finance.

    Please note that it is no longer possible to buy commemorative coins of 2 EUR in cartridges. These are now available exclusively in coincards via the website  www.piecescommemoratives.be.

    You can obtain current coins cartridges from your bank or at the office of the National Bank of Belgium. However, we cannot guarantee that the cartridges contain only Belgian coins, as some foreign coins withdrawn from circulation are also rewrapped and included.

  • Official coins of the Royal Mint of Belgium

    Every year, the Royal Mint issues special editions of commemorative and collector coins. These coins, with their unique designs, celebrate our country's heritage, history and key events.

    You can consult below all the official coins issued by the Royal Mint, classified by year and month of issue. They all bear:

    • The Mint Master’s privy mark,
    • and the mint mark of Utrecht, where they are minted by the Royal Dutch Mint.

    The other issuances which are not mentioned in the table below are not official issuances of the Belgian State.

    • Discover the Belga Gold: the first Belgian investment gold coin

      The Royal Mint of Belgium just achieved a historic milestone: it launches the Belga Gold, the first Belgian official investment gold coin. It has been unveiled this Wednesday 25 March, during a press conference by Filip Van de Velde, Chairman of the Management Committee of the Federal Public Service Finance and Giovanni Van de Velde, Mint Master. 

      The Belga Gold is struck in 99.99% pure gold and is available in two versions: 

      · 1 troy ounce (31.1 g) –face value: 300 EUR 

      · ¼ troy ounce (7.78 g) – face value: 75 EUR 

      Its actual value depends on the price of gold. Prices are therefore updated daily on the sales website. 

      The name of the coin pays tribute to the Belga, a currency unit created in 1926 together with the Belgian franc. Having disappeared in 1946, it is now making a symbolic return! 

      The design of the coin, created by Iris Bruijns, highlights our country’s craftsmanship: 

      · Obverse: a stylised iris inspired by Art Nouveau, in reference to Brussels, the city symbolising Belgium’s central role in Europe. 

      · Reverse: a modern, simplified Belgian lion on a shield, topped by the country’s name in our three national languages. The Belga Gold is available now on www.piecescommemoratives.be

    • The Royal Mint of Belgium has appointed its new partner for the 2026-2029 period

      In October 2025, the Royal Mint of Belgium launched three public procurement procedures, with the aim of selecting its partners for the 2026-2029 period in the following areas:

      1. Production of circulation coins
      2. Production and commercialisation of commemorative and collector coins
      3. Destruction of coins

      Following the assessment of the bids and the award procedure, the Royal Dutch Mint has been officially selected to undertake all three missions.

      We look forward to commencing this new partnership and to working closely with the Royal Dutch Mint over the next four years.

    • The Royal Mint of Belgium is looking for its future partners for the period 2026-2029

    • Spa-Francorchamps on a 2-Euro coin

      The Royal Mint of Belgium (RMB) pays tribute to the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit with a new commemorative 2-Euro coin. The official presentation of the coin took place on Friday 25 July 2025 in the lounges of the circuit, on the occasion of the Belgian Formula One Grand Prix.
       
      This year marks the coincidence of two special anniversaries: 75 years of Formula One and 100 years since the very first Belgian Grand Prix – which took place at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit. In other words, it was the perfect time to highlight this icon! 


      The coin's design is by our colleague Iris Bruijns and shows the silhouette of the circuit, with the inscription ‘CIRCUIT DE SPA FRANCORCHAMPS’ above it. The length (7,004 metres) and founding year (1921) are given on the left. Underneath appear the mint master mark (an Erlenmeyer flask with an aster), the country code BE, the year 2025 and the mint mark (the staff of Mercury). The coin is limited to 150,000 specimens in coincard quality and 5,000 specimens in proof quality, the highest numismatic finish. Find out more at the website herdenkingsmunten.be

    • A new 2-euro coin in honour of the National Lottery

      On 23 January, the Royal Mint unveiled its 2-euro commemorative coin in honour of the National Lottery. The coin was handed over to the Minister of Finance, Mr Vincent Van Peteghem and the CEO of the National Lottery, Mr Jannie Haek. 

      The presentation was held at the Royal Circus of Brussels, a symbolic location as the very first draw of the National Lottery was made there. 

      The coin shows the National Lottery logo, with the goddess Fortuna, symbol of chance and luck, holding her cornucopia on top. 

      This commemorative coin celebrates the 90th anniversary of the National Lottery, which has been supporting the Belgian association sector in the fields of culture, sports and welfare for decades. 

    • #Spendyourchange

      Many of us accumulate red and yellow coins at home. The result? As a result, the Royal Mint of Belgium has to mint new coins on a regular basis, which implies significant economic and ecological costs. Yet there are more than enough coins in circulation to meet demand.

      To re-use these dormant coins and avoid minting new coins, we have launched the campaign #Spendyourchange.

      To find out more and especially how you can support our campaign, visit our website www.spendyourchange.be

    • A new official coin to support the Team Belgium - 25/06/2024

      On 25 June, our Royal Mint unveiled its commemorative 20 Euro silver coin to support the Belgian team taking part in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris under the name Team Belgium.  The coin was presented to Cédric Van Branteghem and Jean-Michel Saive, CEO and President respectively of the Belgian Olympic and Interfederal Committee (BOIC). 

      The design of this coin was created by Iris Bruijns. It features Team Belgium's gold logo on the left and on the right “The Embrace”, the BOIC's visual identity during the Olympics, symbolising unity. The reverse shows the portrait of King Philippe, drawn by Luc Luycx. 

      With this coin, the Royal Mint of Belgium continues its tradition of supporting the Belgian Olympic team with a beautiful commemorative coin!
