How to buy our commemorative coins ?
Since 2018 and till 31 December 2025, 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 However, we cannot guarantee that the cartridges contain only Belgian coins, as some foreign coins withdrawn from circulation are also rewrapped and included.

#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!
