This Belgian definitive stamp, issued in 1922, features a finely engraved profile of King Albert I, known as the “Soldier King” for his leadership during World War I. Printed in carmine, it carries the 40 centimes denomination and belongs to the Medallion series, which was widely used in the early 20th century. The ornate frame with floral motifs and classical design elements reflects the elegance of Belgian engraving traditions. Postmarked in July 1924, this example offers both postal history value and strong visual appeal. A classic addition for collectors of early Belgian monarch issues and definitive series.
