The Philatelic Specialists Society of Canada presents Dr Gregg Redner and the Belgium First Montenez Issue.
The stamp was the work of Georges Montenez (1873-1930) from Belgium. The topic of this presentation is the ‘Special Printing’ which was produced as a souvenir sheet for the 1921 Brussels International Philatelic Exhibit.
The stamp was released in a special printing in the form of a 50-centime stamp on May 26th, 1921. It features a very finely engraved profile portrait of King Albert I, in a circular white frame, surrounded by a wreath of laurel and oak leaves. The country name is inscribed bi-lingually in Flemish and French.
