The 5F design I liked (and like). A stylized but still easily recognizable portrait of the king, an interesting font for the country name, and that somewhat subtle but obvious division into three thirds.

On the 1F coin those three thirds almost look like a Mercedes-Benz logo. ;) And the 50F piece is similar to the 5F but less ... hmm ... delicate. In the lower half, two thick lines go from the edge towards the center, and the upper half is almost empty.

Very badly designed coins, meaningless themes and no consistency whatsoever between the themes of the coins.There are no olive trees in Belgium, oak trees are not typically Belgian, unbelievable they used such caricature to refer to the constitution and if a God had existed surely it would have created something better than Belgium. The only thing I like designwise is the obverse of the 100 francs coin first issued in 1948.
