Following the successful first issue of the original historical Belgian 1 franc coin 1950 - 1988 in coincard, the honour now falls to a very special cent! The 1 cent 1869 - 1907 is now available in both language versions in quadrilingual coincard!
The 1 cent Belgium 1887-1907 and the 1 centime Belgique 1869 - 1907 is one of the few coins that only changed when a new king came in. AND which had no predecessor!
