About this banknote
The Belgian government issued this 20 franc banknote in 1946, specifically for the Belgian Armed Forces. This series was introduced shortly after World War II to facilitate transactions within the military, reflecting the post-war financial re-stabilization needs.
The front side of the note features ornate green designs centered around the denomination with "ARMÉE BELGE" inscribed, while the back side states "BELGISCH LEGER." The design is complemented by intricate patterns in both green and brown colors. This note, identified as Pick M5, measures 118 x 59 mm and was printed on standard paper.
