Gold Reine Fabiola Coin

History of the Reine Fabiola Gold Coin, Village No. 1

Just imagine: a beautiful gold medallion, specially made in honor of Queen Fabiola. It weighs 6.45 grams and is made of 90% pure gold—a little treasure with a big story.

What makes this medallion so special? On one side, it reads “Queen Fabiola,” and below that, “Village Number 1” is engraved. That may sound mysterious, but it seems to refer to a heartwarming project or a meaningful place connected to Fabiola’s dedication and compassion for people.

This is no ordinary coin. It is a tribute to a queen who devoted herself heart and soul to social causes. The medal exudes class not only because of the precious metal from which it is made, but also because of the emotional and historical value it holds.

“Village No. 1 Queen Fabiola” refers to a social initiative founded in the 1970s to support people with disabilities. Queen Fabiola was closely involved in this project, which aimed to provide employment and care for people with disabilities. The medal was issued in recognition of her dedication and to raise awareness of the project.

The image on the front—featuring two hands and a flame—is a highly symbolic image, especially in the context of Village N°1 Reine Fabiola. Here’s what it means:

The two hands symbolize care, support, and cooperation—qualities typical of an organization that assists people with disabilities. They also represent solidarity and humanity.

The flame symbolizes hope, life, enlightenment, or inspiration. In this case, it symbolizes the inner strength or dignity of the people who live or work at Village N°1, or the commitment of the staff.

On the back, you'll see:

Two large hands reaching out protectively over a group of people.

The human figures in the center clearly represent a diverse group—adults and children, or people of different ages.

Symbolic meaning:

This image reinforces the organization's social and caring nature:

Hands symbolize protection, care, and safety.

The people below represent the residents of Village No. 1—people with disabilities or vulnerable individuals.

The sculpture as a whole conveys human dignity, inclusion, and safety.

This aspect aligns perfectly with the social mission of Village N°1 Reine Fabiola: to support and protect people in a warm, caring environment.

Together, the hands holding a flame create a powerful image of people tending the fire of life or hope—a beautiful symbol of a social mission.
