The Belgian draft horse: strength, elegance and heritage
The Belgian draft horse, also known as the Brabant draught horse, is an imposing breed, admired worldwide for its strength, stamina and calm temperament. Originally bred for heavy agricultural work and pulling loads, including in the coal mines, it stands out for its muscular build, broad chest and strong legs. This breed combines strength with elegance: a noble head, proud bearing and a range of seven colours, of which bay roan still predominates. These characteristics make it popular with farmers, horse lovers and now also coin collectors, thanks to this tribute on the first 2½ euro coin of 2026.
Movement on a gold-coloured coin!
The strength, movement and symbolism of the draft horse inspired the Royal Mint of Belgium to issue a 2½ euro coin. The background of the coin designs shows movement and beautifully captures the draft horse in a rural setting. The coin was created in collaboration with, amongst others, the Royal Society of the Belgian Draft Horse, the Association of Flemish Breeders of the Belgian Draft Horse and immaterieel-erfgoed.be. The 2½ euro coin is minted in BU quality and comes in a coincard with two language versions.

The wheel of the zodiac signs is engraved on the coin's gold-colored crown. One sign stands out from the background because it is larger than the others and has a sandblasted background, different from the smoother one of the others. It is the symbol of Scorpio. The lower part of the wheel is embedded in a wave, in reference to water, the element of this sign. A Scorpion, its shell and claws adorned with arabesques, hugs the circular shape of the coin as it arcs into it. In the background, a starry sky features the Scorpio constellation.
