Although many street artists remain anonymous, in Belgium, people come into contact almost daily with various creations that brighten the city's urban landscape. Street art has become an integral part of Belgian society. Many cities are promoting street art through guided tours, festivals, and various initiatives that allow residents and tourists to discover works of art in public spaces.

The street art phenomenon in Belgium has recently led the Royal Belgian Mint to issue a new €2.5 coincard dedicated to street art, in collaboration with one of Belgium's most famous artists, Bue the Warrior. Both the coin and the coincard design, as well as the accompanying NFT, were created by Bue the Warrior himself.

Due to the wide variety of street art in Belgium, other QR codes have been added alongside Coincards that can be used to claim NFTs with additional works by renowned Belgian artists. These NFTs are a digital certificate of ownership, stored on a blockchain, that references a digital multimedia object, and in this case, one of these five street works:

"Buddies" by Bue the Warrior

"Patterns of Time" by Lindert Steegen

“Monkey See, Monkey Demon” by LobsterRobin

«Only Grass can save us» by Resto

"Punk Not Dead" by Toys

2.5€ coins in Coincard

The front of this new coincard has been released in two different languages:

In French

In Dutch

 

 

 Design

 

The obverse of the coin features a cheerful bird and the upper inscription "Streetart," both created with a spray paint can, visible on the coin along with the issuing country mark "BE" (Belgium). Birds frequently appear in the work of street artist Bue the Warrior, so they can be considered his personal signature. His name, as the coin's designer, is also inscribed in the lower right corner, "Bue."

The reverse of the coin features a map of the European Union, accompanied by inscriptions indicating the face value of the coin, the name of the issuing country in the three official languages, and the year of issue, "2025."
