Beschreibung Vorderseite

Different images are visible when the coin is tilted. The first train route between Brussels and Mechelen is visible, just as the names of the three locomotives from the first train ride and the current Belgian railway system. On the foreground of the coin it seems like the locomotive L’Éléphant rides out of the coin. The grid of the rails in the frame give the coin a sense of speed and movement. To the left semicircular legend "First train on European Mainland"
