| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed effigy of King Leopold I facing right, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail typical of mid-19th century Belgian coinage. The king's name and title appear as a continuous legend surrounding the portrait: LEOPOLD PREMIER ROI DES BELGES. The engraver's signature L. WIENER appears below the truncation of the bust. The field is smooth, with the legend in raised Roman capitals. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Belgium's earliest gold coinage was a deliberate political statement issued by a kingdom that had only existed since 1831. The 25-franc denomination linked the new nation directly to the French monetary tradition, adopting specifications nearly identical to the French 20-franc piece scaled upward — a calculated alignment with the Latin world's dominant gold standard before the Latin Monetary Union was formally codified.
The three KM references reflect die variety distinctions documented across the three-year run. Delmonte remains the authoritative source for separating them, and misattribution between the sub-types is routine in general auction catalogs.
