what does the edge look like? can you read the edge

The coin is very common, both as a type coin and because that date is the most common of the series. Twenty-two million, three hundred thousand pieces were minted of this date, almost twice as many as the next most common date.

Today, Leopold II is deemed a notoriously bad man because of his exploitation of the Congo.

I do not have that information, @pocketpiececommems posted an interesting pic of a modified coin with reference to AEW. Just looking for more historical information.

@Hemispherical Kkathyl is trying to ask you a question about how the word "Protege" looks on the edge of the coin. There are two distinct varieties.
