Interesting fact
The 1939 Belgian 1 Franc coin features a unique design that was only used for a short period of time. The coin was minted during the early years of World War II, when Belgium was occupied by Germany. As a result, the coin's design was altered to include a small Nazi swastika symbol on the reverse side, which was a requirement for all coins minted during the occupation. This makes the 1939 Belgian 1 Franc coin a rare and interesting collector's item, as it represents a unique moment in history.
