25 cent of Leopold III, 1944
Details
What could it buy?
During the occupation a 900-gram loaf officially cost 2.40 francs, and only with a ration stamp: almost ten of these coins. Wages were frozen at the level of May 1940, at least 32 francs a day for an unskilled labourer.
Approximate, in the prices and wages of the time.
