25 Centimes Stad Gent

正面描述	Central design depicts a crowned female figure seated en face, rendered in a bold Art Nouveau graphic style in black and cream on a red field. The enthroned figure, representing the personification of the City of Ghent, wears an ornate jewelled garment and holds a sceptre in her left hand, with the Flemish lion rampant displayed across her lap. Flanking the central effigy are decorative rose branches. The legend STAD GENT arcs around the upper portion of the design within a black circular border.

附加信息	Ghent issued cardboard emergency currency in 1920 as a direct consequence of the catastrophic metal shortages that persisted well after the Armistice. Belgian municipalities had been producing their own necessity coinage since the German occupation began in 1914, when occupying authorities systematically stripped copper and other metals for the war effort. By 1920, the official Belgian mint was still struggling to restore normal production, leaving cities like Ghent to improvise. Cardboard issues from this period degrade readily with handling, making genuinely circulated survivors in presentable condition considerably harder to find than their original mintage figures would suggest.
