Hi all, another one of my 'not really sure about this one' posts

Found this 2005 Belgium 20 Euro cent coin yesterday in my change. It looks to me as there is a die crack going through king Albert's forehead and up to the rim between the top two stars.
It was quite difficult to scan this, but photos (I'm ill-equipped in that area) were even worse.
Any thoughts?

This is rather supposed to be a die clash, but I cannot think of what can have clashed it.

EDIT: After looksing more closely, I can see some cracks running from the rim. Indeed, you've got yourself a die crack.

Yes, the crack goes from the rim through king's hair and forehead to the top of the glasses.
As for die clash ... yeah, it just didn't seem possible.
Interesting; most of my euro error coins originate from Belgium or Netherlands.
Thank you :)
