Sanem-Belvaux WW2 Communals
Real or Fake?
During the WW2 German occupation, the administration for Sanem-Belvaux
apparently issued an attractive set of communal revenues. Curiously,
they were denominated in pfenning, not Reichpfenning—which was the
occupation currency—and bear the name Beles, which of course is German
for Belvaux.
Were these stamps actually used? I’ve never seen uses or used examples. The mint set of four is shown above.
The design is strikingly similar to this pre-WW2 Sanem-Belvaux communal revenue:

During the occupation, the nearby commune of Esch-sur-Alzette issued communal revenues with denominations less than one mark denominated in “Pf.” However, denominations of 1 mark or more were denominated in Reichmark.
