Pair of coincards 2 euro Belgium – 100 years of the National Railway Company of Belgium

The coin commemorates the 100th anniversary of the National Railway Company of Belgium (SNCB/NMBS), founded in 1926. For a century, it has provided transport links between the country’s cities and regions, playing a vital role in the daily lives of millions of passengers.

The topic of railways is of particular importance for Belgium: it was here in 1835 that the first passenger railway line on the European continent was opened.

The design of the coin and cards is built around the number “100,” commemorating the SNCB/NMBS’s 100th anniversary. Inside, a historic steam locomotive and a modern train are depicted, symbolizing the journey of Belgian railways from their origins to the present day.
