Comment
Krause designates them wrongly as X, while they reportedly circulated alongside regular currency. Hence we list them alongside coins.Interesting fact
The 5 Centimes coin minted in 1856 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Leopold I's inauguration as the King of Belgium features a unique design element. The coin's obverse side bears an image of Leopold I facing left, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the Belgian coat of arms. What's interesting is that the coin's designer, Jean-Pierre-Joseph Janssens, included his initials ("J.P.J.") on the coin's reverse side, just below the shield. This subtle detail adds a personal touch to the coin's design and serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail of the artist.
