Found this 1895 Leopold II Belgian 10 Cents (French). They were issued from 1894 until 1898. Mintage was 736,000.

Very interesting find. Congrats! I believe the text is actually in Dutch (not in French), one of the official languages of Belgium.

Very interesting coin from a very sly/evil dude. I read King Leopold’s ghost last year. So sad how many Congolese he had killed.

Aureas, you are correct.
Had the legend been in French it would read: [FONT=&quot]L'UNION FAIT LA FORCE

Well that's different. Love the lion motif. Great find.

That’s one cool looking coin .... lion sure is more appealing than side profile of a bald guy
