International Postage Meter Stamp Catalog/Belgium

=Belgium=


 * The first meter appeared in 1925. All stamps are inscribed with the country name in two languages, usually in French (BELGIQUE) and Dutch (BELGIE) but a few are known with German (BELGIEN). The order of the country names in the franks alternates with "BELGIE-BELGIQUE" used mostly in Flanders and "BELGIQUE-BELGIE" used mostly in Wallonia. Those with "BELGIEN" are probably used in the East near the border with Germany.
 * Between 1978 and the switch to the Euro in 1999 all meter franks were required to include "F" or Fr" (for franc) next to the value figures.
 * Stamps without date/town mark are used on pre-paid business reply mail.


 * The stamps are grouped according to appearance and function as follows:
 * A - Small, horizontal octagon
 * B - Small, upright rectangle with simulated perforation border
 * C - Large crown at top, standing lions in lower corners
 * D - Crown at top and curtains at sides
 * E - Country names in wavy panel at top
 * F - Horizontal frank without outer frame. Large lion rampant in center
 * G - Simple rectangle with inner rectangle around value figures. Post horn at bottom
 * H - Wide crown in field of horizontal lines at top
 * I - Abstracted post horns defining top frame line, without crown
 * J - Lions rampant indented at top left and right
 * K - Country names vertical and horizontal starting with common “B” in upper left corner. Euro sign at right
 * PO - Designs used in Post Offices only
 * PD - Designs used for Postage Due only
 * PP - Designs used for Railway Parcel Post only
