Belgium Occupation of Germany, General Government Issue

Belgium · 1916 · 10 Centimes

This stamp features the Belgian Lion rampant within a central circle, flanked by oak leaves. The inscription "BELGIEN" appears at the top, with the denomination "10 CENTIMES" at the bottom. It was part of a series issued for use in the German-occupied territories of Belgium during World War I.

Issued in 1916 under the German Generalgouvernement, these stamps were for civilian use in occupied Belgium. They replaced regular Belgian stamps and were a visible sign of German control during the war.
