Royal Mint of Belgium, Brussels, Belgium (983-2017)Comments
SCWC also mention this type of coin in bronze (instead of copper), KM#4.2a. Other local catalogs (Morin (2012), Aernout (2019)) do not mention these types.

KM# 4.2: Narrow rim, with point in signature, 1835 - 1865 (LA# 9, Morin 89b-113)
KM# 4.3: Medal alignment, 1833 - 1836
KM# 4.4: Narrow rim, without point in signature, 1835 - 1861
Struck on Dutch 1 cent.
1860: two different sizes of the date
1863 3 in date
Catalog inconsistencies:
- Morin and Aernout do not recognize 1834 in medal alignment
- The 1845 date size variety is not recognized by Aernout
- The 1850 coin is not recognized by Aernout, although it states that some coins of 1849 were actually minted in 1850. This makes its existence doubtful
- The 1852 date size variety is not recognized by Aernout
- The 1856 date size variety is not recognized by Aernout
- The 1857 coin withouth signature is not recognized by Morin or Aernout
- The overdate variety 1858/47 is not recognized by Morin or Aernout
- The 1860 coin with normal O is not recognized by Aernout or SCWC
- The 1862 date size variety is not recognized by Aernout
