Belgium 1952 King Baudouin I

Belgium · 1952 · 4F

This definitive stamp features a portrait of King Baudouin I of Belgium, facing left. The design is simple and elegant, focusing on the young monarch who ascended to the throne in 1951. The denomination '4F' is prominently displayed, and the country name appears in both French ('BELGIQUE') and Dutch ('BELGIË').

Issued shortly after King Baudouin's accession following the abdication of his father, Leopold III, this stamp was part of a new definitive series marking the beginning of his long reign, which would last until his death in 1993.
