1943 Belgium 5 Francs Banknote

Obverse: The front of the banknote features a decorative floral design with the denomination "CINQ FRANCS" (Five Francs) prominently displayed in the center, along with the alternative denomination "OU UN BELGA" (or One Belga). The issuing date "01-02-43" is shown below in a small box marked "TRESORERIE" (Treasury). To the left of the denomination, the initials "BNB" for "Banque Nationale de Belgique" are inscribed within a floral motif, while the number "5" is visible in each corner. The serial number "J1 618111" is printed twice, once on the top left and once on the top right. The signatures of the Treasurer and the Governor are located near the bottom, along with the text "LA LOI PUNIT LE CONTREFACTEUR DES TRAVAUX FORCÉS"
