2 Centimes Pattern

Patterns issued by the Royal Belgian Mint in the 1870s were largely produced for internal evaluation and ministerial approval rather than public circulation, and most never advanced beyond a handful of struck examples. Morin 207 is catalogued among the rarer decimal pattern trials of this period — pieces that tested module and alloy combinations the mint was weighing against existing circulating types.

Belgium had already standardized its circulating 2 centimes in copper by this point, which likely explains why this bronze trial went nowhere.
