Belgium: 2 euro 2023, km438, art nvo, no coin card and not proof?

N#368766

here is my coin card, which I bought like this from a dealer in Hamburg via a friend in Munich for 9.50 Euro, but it's just a loose coin!

There is no year line for this, so I have put as a “coin card” variety, since no coin card was there. I don't believe proof coins are coming without a holder, do they?

Belgium coin card issues seem to be popular today.  https://en.numista.com/forum/topic140937.html

Good thing you didn't get a French one. Imagine trying to decide which of the five year lines to use based on color of the (non-existent) card.

Who gave the OK to go Australian? The Canadiens had to forget about thei rolls etc. Why put oil on the fire by allowing the French to introduce the coin card colors🤪 

Numista referees are autonomous it seems until members inquire in the forum but by then it's usually too late.  Then the next referee comes along and decides to do things a different way.  Without oversight by the Catalog administrators this will always be the case.

These are really only issued in cards or as proof (with casing), must have come out of a card.

Thanks for that information, the price of 9.50 for the coin is rather steep for a “circulation” coin.
