Belgium Termonde Inverted Dendermonde

Belgium · 1920 · 65c

This stamp features an inverted center error, showing the Town Hall of Dendermonde (Termonde) upside down within its frame. The design was intended to commemorate the reconstruction of the town hall after its destruction in World War I. This dramatic printing mistake makes it one of the most famous and sought-after Belgian stamps.

Issued after World War I, this stamp was part of a series celebrating Belgian towns and their resilience. The error occurred during the printing process and only a small number of sheets were affected before it was corrected.
