Steve2001 New Member Belgium 1 Posts	Posted 01/23/2012 05:22 am Hello. My name is Steve and I live in Belgium but am actually Canadian. Anyway, I have come into possession of a coin I believe to be an error. It is a 1951 Belgian 100 Franks silver coin, about the size of a silver dollar. It has the profile of four Belgian kings on the obverse and the reverse is set 180 degrees off the obverse. I believe this to be an error. It is in a circulated condition. Can anyone give me an idea of value on this? Report this Post to the Staff

It should help get the attention of those more knowledgeable on the topic.

You can see that some issues of this coin have a "medal alignment", same way up on both sides, and some issues are "coin alignment", that would be like yours. Report this Post to the Staff
Cetaan New Member Belgium 7 Posts	Posted 03/10/2012 11:51 am Hello Steve, This is no error but the standard allignment. All Belgian coins were struck with coin allignment. If you find a Belgian coin in medal allignment than they command a premium. The coin you got (1951 Flemish) is the easiest of this series and is not much more worth than its silver value.
