Old Stamps Of Belgium ( Europe )

Belgium began issuing postage stamps on July 8, 1849 when two imperforated stamps, a 10cents . brown and 20 cents blue collectively known as Epaulettes were introduced. A few months later, a 40 cents red stamp with a new design was issued, for postage to foreign destinations. Initially all Belgian stamps were issued with the French name " Belgique " only, as the French was the original language of the government. Under the government of " Auguste Beernaert ", however, stamps began to be issued with the Dutch language " Belgie " too from 1889. Belgium stamps are rarely issued with German text ( Belgien ) , including overprinted German stamps during World War One.
