With this coin, Belgium commemorates the 50th anniversary of the launch of the ESRO 2B satellite, an important milestone in European space research. Launched in 1968, the satellite was used to study cosmic radiation and pushed the boundaries of our knowledge of space. The ESRO programme was the predecessor of today’s European Space Agency and contributed to scientific discoveries at international level.
The coin is produced in BU quality and supplied in an official commemorative card.
