| Obverse description | Left-facing effigy of King Leopold II of Belgium, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail characteristic of Thomas Vinçotte's sculptural style. The king is depicted as an elderly bearded sovereign, his bust truncated at the shoulder. A circular French-language legend surrounds the portrait reading 'LEOPOLD II ROI DES BELGES', with the engraver's signature 'TH. VINÇOTTE' appearing below the bust truncation. This piece represents an obverse trial strike, produced to assess the die design prior to final coin production. |
