| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing bust of King Leopold II of Belgium rendered in high relief, with prominent beard and characteristic physiognomy. The circumferential legend reads 'LEOPOLD II - KONING DER BELGEN' in raised Latin capitals along the upper arc. The initials '·L.G.M.P.·' appear in the lower field, separated by raised dots, denoting the engraver or issuing authority. The portrait is executed in a classical medallic style consistent with late 19th-century royal effigies. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a complex allegorical and historical composition set within the coin's field. To the left stands a full-length figure of a uniformed military officer, likely representing King Leopold II or a commemorative military personage, holding a staff or baton. In the foreground, a field cannon is depicted in profile. To the right, a rampant lion — the heraldic lion of Belgium — is shown alongside a furled standard or battle flag. The denomination and town name '200 LEOPOLDSBURG' arc along the upper circumference in bold raised Latin capitals, commemorating the garrison town of Leopoldsburg. |
