⁣⁢The inner side of the coin depicts an athlete from the VIIth Olympiad with the inscription "Antwerpen 1920" and the original colorized flag of Belgium

⁣⁢On April 20, 1920, the seventh Summer Olympic Games opened in the brand new Kiel Stadium, in Antwerp. For Belgium, this was a form of compensation for the tragedy of the Great War that had just ravaged its land and people.
The Seventh Olympiad was rich in novelties. For the first time, an athlete took the Olympic oath. This was the Belgian shooter Victor Boin. It was also the first time the famous five-ringed Olympic flag was raised, each ring symbolizing a continent. Finally, doves, a symbol of peace, were released into the sky.⁤⁣
