Belgium · 1911 · 10c

A portrait of King Albert I of Belgium, facing left, with 'BELGIQUE' and 'BELGIE' at the top, and '10c' denomination at the bottom. The stamp is overprinted diagonally with '1911'.

This semi-postal stamp, originally part of the King Albert I definitive series (Scott B3), was overprinted with '1911' to commemorate a specific event or raise funds for a charity in that year, typical for Belgian semi-postal issues.
