| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a whimsical portrait of Gaston Lagaffe, the iconic Belgian comic strip character created by André Franquin, depicted in a cartoon style with his characteristic disheveled appearance. Above the portrait, the exclamatory catchphrase 'M'ENFIN?' arcs across the upper field, referencing the character's famous expression. The inscription '60 ans' appears alongside, commemorating the 60th anniversary of the character's creation in 1957. The design faithfully captures Franquin's original line art style in a numismatic context. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gaston Lagaffe — the catastrophically lazy, accident-prone office clerk created by André Franquin in 1957 — became the subject of a Belgian legal curiosity in 2017 when his publisher Dupuis retained enough rights to authorize this issue despite decades of dispute over the character's ownership following Franquin's death in 1997. Belgium has a long history of commemorating its Franco-Belgian comics heritage in coin form, but Gaston is a pointed choice: a character defined entirely by his refusal to do any work, immortalized on a coin produced by a government mint.
