| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bold, high-relief truncated effigy of King Albert II facing left, rendered in an expressive sculptural style with finely engraved hair swept back from the forehead. The bust occupies the central field with no surrounding legend or inscription, consistent with the trial nature of this piece. The field is concave and unadorned, framed by a raised rim. No date, mintmark, or titulature appears on this obverse trial strike. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is entirely blank, comprising a flat, unadorned field enclosed by a raised rim with reeded edge visible at the periphery. This featureless surface is characteristic of a one-sided obverse trial piece, produced solely to evaluate the portrait die without a corresponding reverse design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Trial pieces from the Royal Mint of Belgium — known officially as the Monnaie Royale de Belgique/Koninklijke Munt van België — rarely enter the market through conventional channels. Most were retained internally or distributed to a narrow circle of mint officials and government approvers. The fact that this obverse trial carries no KM, Moreels, or LA attribution reflects exactly that: it never progressed to an adopted circulation type, leaving it outside the standard cataloging frameworks entirely.
Grispen remains the only reference to document it, which alone narrows the likely surviving population considerably.
