| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed scene of the Bois du Cazier colliery at Marcinelle, featuring the characteristic headframe and mining buildings of the site. A portrait bust of a miner, rendered in the artistic style of sculptor Constantin Meunier, appears prominently within the composition, evoking the imagery of the old Belgian 20 and 50 centimes coinage. The design is applied in color on this variant, enhancing the commemorative character of the piece. The legend 'BOIS DU CAZIER' appears in the upper field, with the commemorative dates '1956-2006' below, marking the fiftieth anniversary of the catastrophic mining disaster. |
