Belgium 5 Euro 2021 European year of rail

Belgium 5 Euro 2021 European year of rail. Belgium 5 Euro 2021 'European Year of Rail'. The European Union has declared 2021 to be the 'Year of the Rail'. Rail traffic plays an important role in being climate neutral by 2050. In addition to being safe, trains are also relatively sustainable. Much less Carbon Dioxide is emitted during train journeys than, for example, by planes and cars/trucks. Trains must run more at night and freight transport must be used more by train in order to achieve the climate targets. However, train traffic has one major disadvantage - many people in a relatively small area. Especially with COVID-19 the chance of spreading the virus is higher when people are in a small enclosed space. On the face of the coin is an image of a train. When the coin is moved from side to side the train also appears to move. Furthermore, the text 'EUROPEAN YEAR OF RAIL 2021' is shown. The reverse of the coin shows the map of the European Union. Additionally, the text 'Belgie - Belgique - Belgien' is shown on the coin (the country name of Belgium in its three national languages - Dutch, French and German). The 12 European stars appear - six at the bottom and six at the top. The value indication of 5 Euro and the year 2021 are also shown. Furthermore, the mint master's mark and the mint mark are displayed. The coin is mounted in a beautiful Coincard.
