Subject of the commemorative coin:
 50th anniversary of the student revolt in May 1968

 Description of the design:
 The design shows students holding a pamphlet and a flag, and refers to the student protests in Belgium in the context of the socio-cultural changes of May 1968. These were an important national event 50 years ago that shaped national politics in Belgium and influenced successive administrative reforms. On the left side are the mint mark of Utrecht (the staff of Mercury) and the Belgian mint master mark (the coat of arms of the municipality of Herzele). The year 2018 and the country code BE are also on the left side, as are the initials LL of the designer of the coin, Mr Luc Luycx. In the background, an auditorium is depicted, a reference to the students. The twelve stars of the European flag are depicted along the outer ring of the coin.
