Description
The Belgian 2 Euro commemorative coin from the year 2018 will be dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the 1968 student revolt. The motif depicts in stylized form the University of Leuven, which at the time was at the center of the revolt. In front of her are protesting students with waving flags. The once bilingual Löwener University was split as a result of the uprisings in a French and a Dutch-speaking university.
