The Golden Age of the Belgian Franc: 20 to 100 Franc Set
Own a vibrant piece of European heritage with this curated set of Belgian Francs. This collection spans the 1960s and 1970s, showcasing Belgium's dual identity through its bilingual designs (French and Dutch) and its celebration of both modern science and the Old Masters.
The Treasury & National Bank Series:
-
20 Francs / Vingt Francs (1964): Features a dignified portrait of King Baudouin in spectacles. The reverse is a collector's favorite, depicting the Atomium in Brussels, built for the 1958 World's Fair as a symbol of scientific progress.
-
50 Francs / Vijftig Frank (1966): Highlights the dual portrait of King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola. The reverse showcases the Palace of the Nation in Brussels, the seat of the Belgian Federal Parliament.
-
100 Francs / Cent Francs (1974): A stunning artistic note featuring a self-portrait of the great Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens. The reverse illustrates the Guild Houses of Grote Markt in Antwerp, with a statue of a classical figure holding a lyre.
Collector’s Features:
-
Bilingual Heritage: True to Belgium's constitution, the notes alternate between French (Royaume de Belgique) and Dutch (Koninkrijk België) as the primary language on different denominations.
-
Masterful Engraving: These notes are famous for their "painterly" feel, using soft violet, orange, and green hues that were much more artistic than many of their European contemporaries.
-
Security & Watermark: Each note features a high-definition profile watermark of King Baudouin, visible when held to the light.
-
Condition: Choice Circulated (VF/XF) – These notes retain strong paper body, vivid color saturation, and clear, crisp engravings with minimal handling marks.
