NEW NATIONAL SIDE OF EURO CIRCULATION COINS

(2006/C 53/03)

National side of the new 2-euro commemorative circulation coin issued by Belgium

Euro circulation coins have legal tender status throughout the euro area. The Commission publishes all
new euro coin designs (1) with a view to informing anyone required to handle coins in the course of their
work and the public at large. In accordance with the Council conclusions of 8 December 2003 (2), Member
States and countries that have concluded a Monetary Agreement with the Community providing for the
issuance of euro circulation coins are allowed to issue certain quantities of commemorative euro circulation
coins on condition that not more than one new coin design is issued per country per year and that only
the 2 EUR denomination is used. These coins have the technical features of normal euro circulation coins,
but bear a commemorative design on the obverse national side.

Issuing State: Belgium

Subject of commemoration: Atomium

Factual description of the design: The inner part of the coin shows a representation of the ‘Atomium’.
The engraver's initials ‘LL’ are depicted to the lower right hand side of the Atomium. Two mintmarks
appear along the edge of the inner part, one on the right and one on the left of the lower ball of the
Atomium. Twelve stars surround the design on the outer ring. The monogram ‘B’ appears at the top of the
coin between two stars and the year of mintage ‘2006’ appears at the bottom of the circle between two
stars.

Issue volume: 5 million coins

Approximate issue period: April 2006

Edge lettering: 2 **, repeated six times, alternately upright and inverted

(1) See OJ C 373 of 28.12.2001, p. 1-30 for a reference to all national sides that were issued in 2002.

euro coins. See also Commission Recommendation of 29 September 2003 on a common practice for changes to the
