Description
The coin commemorates the 60-year anniversary of the adoption, on 10 December 1948, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights – the first universal statement on the basic principles of inalienable human rights. It reproduces the United Nations logo for the anniversary campaign, which depicts a human shape standing with outstretched arms. The icon represents liberation and equality and is set on a solid rectangle, a symbol of the foundation stone of human rights, bearing the figure ‘60’. The name of the country in its three official languages is inscribed in a semi-circle below the logo: ‘BELGIË – BELGIQUE – BELGIEN’
