| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color depiction of the iconic Belgian comic strip character Lucky Luke, rendered in the classic style of creator Morris. The cowboy hero is shown seated astride his white horse Jolly Jumper, both figures vibrantly colored with Lucky Luke dressed in his signature yellow shirt, red neckerchief, blue trousers, and white hat, raising one hand in a casual salute. The background, rendered in uncolored relief, depicts a desert landscape with tall cacti. The character name 'LUCKY LUKE' appears in bold stylized lettering to the lower left of the field, and the copyright notice '© Lucky Comics, 2024' is inscribed along the lower border. |

| Additional information |
Lucky Luke debuted in 1946 in the Belgian comics almanac Spirou, created by Maurice De Bevere — known professionally as Morris — who drew the series solo until Goscinny took over scripting duties in 1955. The Royal Belgian Mint has leaned heavily into its comics heritage for collector issues, a strategy rooted in Belgium's genuine claim to being the capital of European bande dessinée. The KM#451.1 designation distinguishes the colored variant from its uncolored counterpart, both struck from the same dies.
