Comment
In 1903, coins were minted for both this type and KM# 48. They can be distinguished by the size of the digits in the date. This is the "large date" type, and the hole inside the '0' will be longer and more perfectly oval compared to the more squared-off shape in KM# 48.Schön# 18 includes both KM# 48 and KM# 52.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Centimes - Léopold II (French text - Large date) 1903-1906 coin from Belgium is that it was minted during the reign of King Leopold II, who was known for his controversial rule over the Congo Free State, a large area of central Africa that was under his control. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the value of 10 centimes on the other. Despite its relatively small denomination, the coin is a valuable collector's item today due to its historical significance and the limited number of coins minted during its production run.
