From 1 January to 30 June 2024, Belgium holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. The presidency is awarded to one member state for six months on a revolving basis.

Among other things, Belgium will focus on topical issues such as security, social policy, the green transition and economic growth. As the Belgian presidency falls at the end of a Commission legislature, the country also wants to lay a solid foundation for the EU's strategic agenda for the period 2024-2029. In this way, it can help define the major directions the EU will take in the near future.

The reverse shows the text 'BELGIAN PRESIDENCY OF THE COUNCIL OF THE EU 2024' together with 27 swallows (27 member states) moving in unison as one flock.

The obverse is the standard 2 euro design featuring a map of Europe and the denomination.
