Belgium 10 centimes 'Termonde' Inverted Medallion
Belgium · 1920 · 10 centimes
This definitive stamp, part of a series featuring Belgian city views, depicts the town hall of Termonde (Dendermonde). It is famous for a rare printing error where the central vignette of the building was printed upside down relative to the frame. This inverted medallion error makes it one of Belgium's most sought-after philatelic rarities.
Issued in the post-World War I period, this stamp was part of a series intended to showcase Belgian heritage and reconstruction. The error occurred during the two-color printing process, creating a spectacular and now legendary variety.
