Coins

The banknote replaced one of the
same value with the effigy of King
Baudouin and Queen Fabiola, which
also had a short life, from 1992 to
1997. One side had a stylised illus-
tration of the Laeken greenhouses
and the other, the portrait of the king
and queen. The banknotes were
state-of-the-art in terms of security
technology and should really have
had a longer life span. King Baudouin
died unexpectedly on
31 July 1993.
Today, the banknotes can reach
€500 or more on Delcampe, that is,
twice their value. This is proof that
they are quite rare. Few people kept
them when the euro was introduced.
On the other hand, they are essential
for collectors of Belgian banknotes.
