Belgium - coin 2000 [résolu]

What is the significance of this coin? I have several coins from the same year (2000) but this was the only one that had a soccer ball on the back. Why?

I'd appreciate any information...Thanks!

UEFA Euro 2000

mintage 500.000 flemish (BELGIE) + 500.000 french (BELGIQUE)
catalog value :  F 1,25   VF 2,5  EF 5  UNC  6

M@verick - thanks for the info!

tony.c - I appreciate that information but I don't understand what that means. Can you please explain that to me?
- thanks!

mintage = number of coins struck
in belgium we have 2 official languages : dutch and french (okay, some speak german), so most coins were struck with flemish or french country name : BELGIE or BELGIQUE. Few (commemorative ) coins are BELGIEN (german)

coin value is effected by rarity and quality of the coin. The fewer coins were struck, the higher the price. The better it looks, the higher the price. Coin grading is not easy, and I can't learn you in a few lines. Here you can find more info : http://www.acoin.com/grading.htm
Prices I mentioned are in euro, market value is is 40-60% of catalog value.
