The obverse shows a stylised rainbow as a symbol of hope for a cancer-free world, with the country and year BE 2024. At the centre is the representation of a heartbeat in the form of an awareness ribbon often pinned to express our solidarity with the patient. At the bottom is the bilingual inscription Lutte contre le cancer - Fight against cancer, surrounded by the initials IB of designer Iris Bruijns, the mintmaster's mark (Erlenmeyer flask with aster) and the mintmaster's mark of the Royal Dutch Mint (the Mercury staff).
