Hôtel des Monnaies, Former mint building in Saint-Gilles, Belgium.

The Hôtel des Monnaies stands at the intersection of Rue de Moscou and Rue de l'Hôtel des Monnaies, featuring neo-Louis XIII architectural elements.

The facility, inaugurated in 1880, served as Belgium's primary coin production center until 1973, when operations moved to Boulevard Pachéco.

The building represents the sole major architectural work of Armand-Louis-Adolphe Roussel, demonstrating industrial advancement in Belgian monetary production.

The structure now occupies a smaller footprint than its original 5,000 square meters following partial demolition in 1979.

During its operational period, the mint produced currency not only for Belgium but also for multiple nations across Africa and the Middle East.
