Belgium 1921 Antwerp Olympic Games Re-valued Stamp

Name: Belgium 1921 Antwerp Olympic Games Re-valued Stamp
Brand: Belgium

Belgium · 1921 · 10 centimes

This 1921 Belgian stamp features an ancient runner within an oval frame, commemorating the VIIth Olympic Games held in Antwerp in 1920. Originally issued in 1920 with a charity surcharge, this specific stamp has been re-valued and overprinted with a new nominal value of 10 centimes.

Issued shortly after the 1920 Antwerp Olympics, this re-valued stamp reflects the post-war economic adjustments in Belgium. The original issue helped fund the games, which were a symbol of renewal after World War I.
