| Aanvullende informatie |
Belgium struck these 50-franc pieces in both 1939 and 1940 — the 1940 date making it one of the more historically loaded coins in the modern Belgian series. Germany invaded on May 10th of that year, and Léopold III surrendered the Belgian army eighteen days later. Coins dated 1940 were struck and in some cases distributed under occupation conditions, with the king already a prisoner in his own palace at Laeken.
The postwar controversy over Léopold's conduct during the occupation — the so-called "Royal Question" — eventually forced his abdication in 1951. The 1940-dated pieces carry that weight without advertising it.
