The problem with your inquiry is that in 1963 there were no gold coins minted in Belgium with a "20" value. There were bronze 20 centimes (KM#146 with the French name "Belgique", catalog value $1 Uncirculated). There are no 1963 20 Francs listed in Krause, with either the French name or the Dutch "Belgie".
In any event, once a coin has had a hole drilled in it for jewelry use, with very rare exceptions it's value is that of so much metal, and it has lost all of it's value as a numismatic item. Gold and silver do have bullion value - base metals don't.
