The Official 1999 / 2000 / 2001 Tripple Blister contains the 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 cent coins and 1, 2 euros (unc) for the three years represented in the set, for a total of 24 coins.
The national designs on the Belgian euro coins represent elements of the coins previously in circulation. A national panel made up of leading Belgian officials, artists and experts in numismatics chose the motif, common for all eight coins: the portrait or effigy of King Albert II of Belgium and his royal monogram (a capital 'A' underneath a crown). Also part of the design by Jan Alfons Keustermans (Director of the Municipal Academy of Fine Arts of Turnhout) are the 12 stars of the EU and the year of imprint.
