Interesting fact
The A Token 1 Frank - Albert I (Ghent - German Occupation Coinage) 1915 from City of Ghent (Province of East Flanders) made of Gold plated copper weighing 4.1 g is an interesting coin because it was issued during World War I, specifically in 1915, when Ghent was under German occupation. The coin features the image of King Albert I of Belgium, who played a significant role in the war effort and was known for his leadership and bravery. The fact that the coin is made of gold-plated copper is also noteworthy, as it highlights the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the people of Ghent during a time of war, when resources were scarce.
