| 表面の説明 | Left-facing effigy of King Albert I, rendered in high relief with strong naturalistic detail. The king is depicted bare-headed. The French legend ALBERT ROI DES BELGES arcs around the periphery, divided at top and bottom, with the engraver's initials A.B. incuse below the truncation. The portrait is the work of medallist Armand Bonnetain, displaying a classical, austere style characteristic of early twentieth-century Belgian coinage. |

| 裏面の説明 | The elaborately detailed Royal Arms of Belgium occupies the centre of the field, featuring the Belgian lion on a quarterly shield, supported by two lions rampant and surmounted by the royal crown above a mantle. The denomination legend QUATRE BELGAS arcs across the upper field, with the numeric value 20 FR. divided to either side of the shield. The mint year appears in the lower exergue, flanked by a decorative rosette, and the engraver's initials G.D. for Godefroid Devreese are visible to the lower right of the arms. The coin is bordered by a fine beaded rim. |

Belgium's interwar nickel coinage was a direct consequence of the country's postwar monetary chaos. The belga was introduced in 1926 as a unit of five francs, itself a stabilization measure after the franc had lost roughly 85% of its prewar value. This piece carries French text, meaning it served the Francophone population under Belgium's strict linguistic parity laws — identical coins with Flemish text were struck concurrently as separate issues.
Production ran only across 1931 and 1932, cutting off as the Great Depression tightened its grip on Belgian public finances. Nickel hoarding was not yet the issue it would become later in the decade.
