| Obverse description | A rampant lion facing left is depicted at center on a finely checkered field, enclosed within a beaded circle. The Belgian national motto in French, 'L'UNION FAIT LA FORCE,' curves along the upper legend, while the denomination '20 Cs.' appears in the lower portion of the field, flanked by two five-pointed stars. A toothed border runs along the periphery, framing the entire design in a crisp, formal style characteristic of mid-19th-century Belgian pattern coinage. |
