One interesting fact about the 1 Franc - Albert I (Dutch text) 1910-1918 coin from Belgium is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of King Albert I, who ruled Belgium from 1909 until his death in 1934. During this time, Europe was experiencing significant political and social upheaval, including the rise of fascist and nationalist movements, the outbreak of World War I, and the subsequent establishment of the League of Nations. Despite these challenges, the 1 Franc coin remained a stable and widely used currency in Belgium, and it continues to be a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
