| Aanvullende informatie |
Trial strikes from the Brussels mint in this period were produced to test die alignment, planchet quality, or proposed design changes before authorizing a production run — not for circulation or presentation purposes. The 1859 2-franc denomination was an established circulating type by this point, making a trial at this date more likely connected to a planchet or alloy evaluation than a design revision. The .850 fineness aligns with the Latin Monetary Union standard that Belgium would formally adopt six years later, suggesting this piece may relate to early preparation for that transition.
