[QUOTE="Aidan Work, post: 111907, member: 1824"]I do know why German has appeared on modern Belgian coins.It is representing the fact that the German-speaking community mainly live in Eupen & Malmedy,which was shuttled back & forth between Belgium & Germany in both World Wars.The same situation applies to Alsace-Lorraine,which is now part of France,but it is mainly German-speaking as well. The Belgian Euro coins have the 'AII' monogram & the portrait of King Albert II,who succeeded his brother, King Baudouin in 1993. Aidan.[/QUOTE]
