The inscription \"BELGIE\" is clearly visible at the top, while the value \"20 F\" is centrally placed to the right. The date \"1980\" is inscribed at the bottom, beneath the design. The visible surface of the coin shows a matte gray patina, typical of common alloys used for coinage during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe relief of the plant design is well-defined, giving it a graphic appearance characteristic of the late 20th century. The edges of the coin appear crisp and show little wear on the side displayed. No details of the reverse are visible in the photo; in accordance with instructions, the description is limited to the obverse shown. The overall impression is of a sober and modern style, often adopted by Belgian numismatics around the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe coin is placed on a bronze-decorated case or box, highlighting its reflections and emphasizing the contrast between the gray metal and the warm background. There are some traces of use and discrete marks related to circulation, but no major chips or cracks are observable on the photographed side. The overall appearance remains consistent, with well-preserved relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of coin is particularly interesting for its plant iconography, its clearly legible year of issue, and its distinctive typography. The inscriptions are clear and well-centered, which facilitates identification and the search for variants for this mintage. The coin offers a refined design, emblematic of Belgian numismatic modernity of the late 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
