To keep shipping costs low, I am using Economy Shipping services…there is no tracking or insurance with these services. If you require a different shipping service with tracking and insurance, please contact me for pricing to your destination, before you buy. Lettermail within Canada is registered and comes with tracking. International tracked comes with tracking.

All Non-tracked items are the buyer's responsibility.

This type was struck 1980-82 and 1989-93 along with large quantities of KM 160 with Flemish legends. Belgium, which split from the Netherlands in 1830 over religious issues (Protestant vs. Catholic), is further divided into French and Flemish speaking halves. Stirred up by demagogic politicians, the two sides occasionally erupt into violence.
