At the bottom left, the text 'BELGIAN PRESIDENCY OF THE COUNCIL OF THE EU 2024'. Centrally across the coin, 27 swallows (27 member states) swarm around the country code BE. The swallow moves in unison and flies in one group after the trigger. Swallows are helpful, industrious and loyal. Left: 'IB' the initials of designer Iris Bruijns, above the mintmaster's mark (an erlenmeyer flask with aster) and the mintmark of the Royal Dutch Mint (the Mercury staff).
