| Obverse description | The nickel-brass centre depicts a bearded bust of Pieter Bruegel the Elder in right profile, wearing a soft cap, rendered in fine relief after a period portrait. To his left, an easel bears a canvas displaying a detail from one of his celebrated paintings, evoking the Tower of Babel composition. The inscription 'P. BRUEGEL' arcs across the upper field, with the dates '1569†' and '2019' arranged vertically below, commemorating the 450th anniversary of the artist's death. The Belgian country code 'BE', surmounted by the mint mark, appears to the lower left of the easel, alongside the engraver's initials 'LL'. The outer copper-nickel ring carries the twelve stars of the European Union. |
