| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed map of the European continent in the central field, overlaid with the word 'Peace' rendered in numerous European languages, symbolizing continental unity and reconciliation. A dove carrying an olive branch in its beak is depicted to the left of the map, serving as a universal emblem of peace. The Latin inscriptions 'PAX' and 'EUROPA' appear prominently, alongside the commemorative inscription '70' denoting the seventieth anniversary of peace in Europe. The multilingual lettering encircling and overlaying the map reinforces the pan-European theme of the commemorative issue. |

| Additional information |
Belgium issued this coin in 2015 to mark seventy years since the end of the Second World War in Europe — a conflict that killed an estimated 70 to 85 million people and left Belgium twice occupied within a single generation. The Royal Belgian Mint has a pattern of commemorative gold issues tied to major European anniversaries, though this particular piece generated some quiet criticism: by 2015, the political climate across the continent was already showing the strains that would produce Brexit, rising nationalist parties, and sustained refugee crises.
