('AFFICHES AANPLAKBRIEVEN', 1886, reduced size)

In the above 'AFFICHES' design were issued the values: 5 c, 6 c, 7 c, 8 c, 9 c, 10 c, 11 c and 12 c, all in red, (two shades were of red were issued), both perforated or imperforate. In 1886 the Flemish inscription 'AANPLAKBRIEVEN' was added in the design (same values, all in red colour, only perforated).


('TAXES FISCALES')

In the above 'TAXES FISCALES' design I have seen 10 c brown (grey underprint), 9 F blue (yellow underprint), 100 F olive (blue underprint) and 500 F red (brown underprint). I don't know when this design was issued.


Woman figure with crown next to it on top and lion with star at bottom. I've seen 0.20 F green and red, and 1 F red and black in this design.


Man facing the right in a circle on top and lion in circle at the bottom. I've seen 0.10 F green and 0.20 F green in this design.

These stamps could be cut into two halves


Reduced size; The values I've seen are 5 c red (10 F 100 Fr), 10 c red (100 Fr 500 Fr), 20 c red (500 F 1000 F). I've also seen a similar stamp 10 c blue, but perforated with the text '500 F. ET AU DESSOUS' and '500 F, EN MINDER'.


1946 Deflation issue, stamps overprinted "-10%", "moins 10 %" or "min 10" etc.

 

Many different kinds of overprints exist. Apparently, these stamps were only valid for a few days.
