| Beschrijving voorzijde | Conjoined busts of King Leopold I and King Leopold II face right in high relief, with the legend LEOPOLD I to the left and LEOPOLD II to the right of the effigies. A five-pointed star appears at the apex of the coin, and the engraver's signature LEOP WIENER is inscribed in the lower field. The portrait composition is rendered in a classical medallic style typical of mid-to-late 19th-century Belgian commemorative coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck to commemorate the semicentennial of Belgian independence, declared in 1830 following the September Revolution that separated the southern provinces from the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The piece was issued as part of a broader jubilee program under Leopold II, who used the occasion to project national cohesion at a moment when internal linguistic and political tensions between Flemish and Walloon factions were already sharpening.
The copper striking cataloged under X#8a distinguishes it from the silver and gold jubilee pieces of the same program — a deliberate choice to produce something accessible to ordinary Belgians rather than purely commemorative for collectors and dignitaries.
