This release commemorates the extensive history of the fight against cancer, and also constitutes a concrete expression of gratitude to all the professionals and volunteers who have dedicated themselves for years to assist people medically and morally in what may be called the most difficult moment of their lives.

With this coin, we also want to draw permanent attention to the need for support for patients and their families in various areas.

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).
