Issued on September 15, this issue honors the European Year for Development.

The European Year of Development was launched by the EU Commission on January 1 and is focused on raising awareness of development across Europe. The goal is to show taxpayers how their money is being put to the best possible use in empowering our fellow human beings around the world who are mired in poverty through no fault of their own to make a living for themselves, their families and their communities.

The inner part of the coin depicts a hand holding a globe of the Earth with a plant in the foreground. The inscription ‘2015 EUROPEAN YEAR FOR DEVELOPMENT’ features in an arc above the globe. The country code ‘BE’ appears beneath the hand while the signature mark of the Master of the Mint and the mark of the Brussels mint, a helmeted profile of the archangel Michael, are to its left.

The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

This coin was only issued in 2,000 rolls (50,000 coins) in its regular, uncirculated quality, and was only available from the Central Bank of Belgium in Brussels and not from commercial banks. Because of this, RSM is not anticipating being able to offer the uncirculated coin in capsule.
