| Obverse description | The bimetallic inner disc features a stylised human figure with outstretched arms, superimposed on a large globe rendered in relief, symbolising the unity and global reach of the Economic and Monetary Union. The design, engraved by Geórgios Stamatópoulos, employs a bold, schematic artistic vocabulary reminiscent of a stick figure in dynamic posture. The legend BELGIE - BELGIQUE - BELGIEN arcs across the upper portion of the inner disc, while the commemorative inscription EMU 1999-2009 appears along the lower arc. The mint mark of the Royal Mint of Belgium and the engraver's initials ΓΣ are present in the field. The outer ring of the coin bears the twelve stars of the European Union. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the standard 2 euro common design by Luc Luycx, featuring a large numeral 2 to the left of centre within the nickel brass inner disc. To the right, a relief map of the European Union is depicted, extending across both the inner disc and the outer copper-nickel ring, which bears the twelve stars of the European Union arranged in a circle. The word EURO is inscribed across the map in capital letters. The engraver's initials LL appear discreetly in the lower right field of the inner disc. |
