This Belgian definitive stamp, issued around 1915, depicts the rampant lion from Belgium’s national coat of arms — a proud emblem of resilience and unity. Designed in an ornate red frame with draped curtains and a royal crown above, the image symbolizes the monarchy and the strength of the Belgian state during World War I. The inscription “BELGIQUE – BELGIE” appears bilingually to represent both French and Dutch-speaking regions. With a face value of 25 centimes, it was commonly used for standard domestic correspondence during the wartime occupation period.
