10 Euros - Albert II 75th Birthday of Albert II

Albert II turned 75 in June 2009, the same year Belgium was navigating a prolonged government formation crisis — the country had been without a fully functioning federal government for stretches of that period, making the royal household a rare point of institutional continuity. Commemorative issues tied to the monarch's personal milestones were a reliable fixture of Belgian numismatic output under Albert, who had already accumulated a substantial catalog of such pieces since his 1993 accession.

Struck in .925 silver with a mintage controlled by the Royal Mint of Belgium, the issue was sold primarily to collectors rather than entering circulation.
