1 frank of Leopold III, 1942-1946
Details
What could it buy?
In early 1946 an industrial worker earned on average 14.40 francs an hour: this coin was a little over four minutes of work. A one-kilo loaf cost 6.90 francs in 1949, almost seven of these coins.
Approximate, in the prices and wages of the time.
The story
1 frank from 1942-1946, issued in Belgium under Leopold III. So worn that the inscriptions are illegible.
