Belgium 1932 Heraldic Lion with 10 C Overprint
Belgium · 1932 · 10 C on 70 C
The stamp features a stylized heraldic lion rampant within an ornate rectangular frame. It is surcharged with '10 C' in black, overprinting the original '70 C' denomination.
Issued in 1932, this definitive stamp is part of Belgium's 'Heraldic Lion' series, surcharged to reflect a change in postal rates. The overprint of '10 C' on an existing '70 C' stamp was a common practice to adapt to new postal requirements without printing entirely new issues.
