MICHEL P1
OFFICIAL POSTCARD
5 CENTIMES
National post in Belgium (for the General Government of Belgium). The area included the Kingdom of Belgium with the exception of a few districts in the southwest, initially also parts of northern France.
Issued 1914/15. Postcard P1 features a 5Pf, green coloured Germania 'DEUTSCHES REICH' value stamp overprinted "Belgien | 5 Centimes" in Gothic script, and measures 140 x 90mm. This postcard has the same design as P96, with the word "Postkarte" to the right of the vertical dividing line.
Apart from the basic P1 there is a variation, P1I which is almost identical except that the distance between the "5" and the "C" of the overprint are much closer together, 0.33mm instead of 0.9mm.
