Belgium 5 Euro 2019 Tintin

Tintin (Kuifje in Belgium) is known from the comic series The Adventures of Tintin. Georges Remi (1907-1983) launched Tintin in the year 1929. It is now 90 years since Tintin first appeared, hence the Royal Belgian Mint has issued this coin. Tintin was inseparable from his dog Snowy (in Belgium Bobbie) and almost all of the adventures were shared by the two of them. The kuifje (tuft of hair) was created in one of the very first cartoon strips, Tintin got into a car with an open roof (convertible) and the wind blew his hair into this well-known shape. This form has never left and has ensured that many people in the world know Tintin.This coin is based on a black-and-white edition that took place in Congo.
