Belgium-States Coin List
The numismatic history of the States of Belgium, also known as États-Belgiques-Unis (United Belgian States), represents a brief but significant episode in the European monetary landscape of the 18th century. This confederation of provinces emerged in 1790 as an attempt at independence from Austrian Habsburg rule. Although its existence was ephemeral - barely a year - it left a remarkable mark on the history of Belgian coinage for its political symbolism and its effort to consolidate its own identity.
Coins of an ephemeral nation
During its short period of life, the States of Belgium issued coins with the aim of asserting their sovereignty and stabilizing their economy. The most representative pieces were the liards and sols, generally minted in copper and silver, which included Latin legends such as "Belgii Foederati" (Confederate Belgium). In their designs can be seen provincial coats of arms, symbols of unity and references to freedom, reflecting the revolutionary ideology of the time. Although these coins circulated for a short time, today they are highly valued by collectors as tangible witnesses of a brief but crucial political experiment in Belgian history.
