| Aversbeschreibung | Central field features the Belgian lion rampant passant, facing left with forepaws raised, rendered in bold relief within a beaded inner circle. The annular border between the inner circle and the outer rim is decorated with a continuous undulating ribbon motif interspersed with six-petalled rosettes. The entire composition is framed by a finely beaded outer rim. No legend appears on this face, the heraldic lion serving as the sole device, emphasizing the coin's Belgian national identity despite its wartime occupation context. |

Belgium's pre-war copper coinage was systematically melted by German occupation authorities after 1914, and zinc was substituted not as a wartime compromise but as deliberate policy — stripping the occupied territory of its copper reserves for German munitions production. The Kaiserreich issued these coins under a dual-language format reflecting Belgium's linguistic divide, a detail the occupation administration was careful to maintain to avoid inflaming Flemish-Walloon tensions at a politically sensitive moment.
Zinc corrodes aggressively in circulation, and surviving problem-free examples are genuinely scarce. Most survivors show the characteristic white oxidation and surface granularity inherent to the alloy.
