Obverse: Features the Monogram of Leopold III, with double "L"s balanced around central hole, with date 1939 below. Reverse: Features the Coats of arms of Antwerp (left), Namur (middle) and Hasselt (right) surrounded by bilingual legends. Value "10c" and designer O.JESPERS below. Lettering: BELGIE-BELGIQUE ("Belgium" in Flemish and French). The 1939 Belgium 10 centimes is a fascinating "bridge" issue. While the 1940s coins were struck in zinc due to the German occupation, the 1939 edition was produced just before the invasion and was struck in cupro-nickel. This gives the coin a much brighter, silvery appearance compared to the dull, grey wartime issues. This was the final year of peace for Belgium before WWII. This coin features a distinctive "holed" design, a practical choice used in Belgium for many years to help people distinguish small denominations from larger ones by touch. Because it is made of cupro-nickel, this coin survived the war much better than the zinc coins that followed. It represents the standard currency of the "interwar" period. Dimensions: Cupro-Nickel. 19 mm. 3 g. Pickup category timeslot {A}
