Purchased this recently.



Belgium Pattern, proof, 50 centimes 1953 FR (French) in GOLD

As far as I can tell its not listed in Krause and I can't find any details of any other ones sold online.
Can anybody else shed any light on this gold proof version?

Thanks, neither had I.
I don't specifically collect Belgium coins but I collect gold coins and I liked the design.

It arrived today.

Its quite a small coin .
50 centimes - 19 mm & 2.75 g .
Its usual composition is Bronze (Cu : 95 %, Sn : 3 %, Zn : 3 %)

There is the French version - BELGIQUE
and the Dutch version - BELGIE

My one is:

19mm as well. I'm not sure if the thickness is the same.
It has a plain edge and weighs 4.03 grams.

I never knew the soldier had a hair line!
