| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing portrait of King Albert II occupying the central field, engraved in high relief by Jan Alfons Keustermans and Luc Luycx. To the left of the effigy, the denomination '50 ECU' is inscribed in stylised lettering, with the date '1995' and mint mark 'qp' below. Along the lower rim, the trilingual country name legend reads 'Belgique - België - Belgien' in script lettering, reflecting Belgium's three official linguistic communities. |

| Reverse description | The reverse commemorates the 50th anniversary of the United Nations, dominated by a large stylised numeral '50' rendered in bold relief occupying the upper right portion of the field. To the lower left, the emblem of the United Nations — a polar azimuthal projection of the world map encircled by olive branches — is depicted in fine detail. Radiating lines fan outward from the central design toward the right, evoking light or celebration, while a ring of twelve stars along the lower rim references the European Community. The anniversary dates '1945' and '1995' appear to the left in the field, with the mint marks positioned at the bottom. |
