| Additional information |
Belgium's 2023 commemorative marks the centenary of Victor Horta's death, though Horta himself died in 1947 — the anniversary being honored is the 1923 designation of Art Nouveau as a defining national movement, a retroactive cultural claim Belgium has leaned into heavily since UNESCO inscribed four Horta buildings as World Heritage Sites in 2000. The Royal Belgian Mint has issued several Art Nouveau-themed pieces over the decades, making this a continuation of a deliberate national branding effort rather than a spontaneous tribute.
