History & Notable Facts
The 1935 Belgian Eucharistic Coin was struck to commemorate the 31st International Eucharistic Congress in Brussels, an event that drew over a million attendees and marked a rare fusion of faith and state currency.
Weighing in at 18 grams of .835 fine silver, it featured a design by engraver Alphonse Michaux, with the obverse showing King Leopold III and the reverse depicting a monstrance holding the Eucharist, flanked by Belgian shields. Mintage figures are uncertain; records from the Brussels Mint during that era were spotty at best.
One odd detail: the coin's edge bears the inscription "Dieu et Patrie," which some collectors misread as a call to arms rather than a nod to national motto.
While myths persist about its supposed blessings, it's just silver and copper alloy, handled like any other piece in my trays over the years.
