These are often listed on European coin sites as having two types, one with a 'thick 50' and the other with a 'thin 50', from photos this piece appears to be the thin variety. KM does not document the different types. I'll soon present here all of the regular issues of Ghent with a full story of these unusual emergency war issues, please check back soon.
OB: Lettering: .STAD=GENT. VILLE DE GAND; [Translation: City of Ghent]
