Country information

The territory of present-day Belgium formed part of the heartland of the Frankish Empire in the early Middle Ages. The Flemish cities of Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp developed into the commercial centres of Europe from the 12th and 13th centuries onwards. Belgium endured centuries of foreign rule before achieving independence as a kingdom in 1830. Brussels, the capital, is home to most of the European Union's institutions as well as NATO headquarters.

Further information

Belgium began producing its euro coins on 7 December 1998 in Brussels. Due to the rivalry between the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders and the French-speaking region of Wallonia, Belgian euro coins feature either no inscriptions at all, a neutral country identifier, or the country name in all three official languages — Dutch, French and German.
