Caricatured Belgian, 50 Centimes, from the series Coins of All Nations (N72, variation 1) for Duke brand cigarettes 1889

"Caricatured Belgian, 50 Centimes," is a colorful lithograph from the "Coins of All Nations" series produced by W. Duke, Sons & Co. in 1889. This humorous trade card, designed to promote Duke brand cigarettes, depicts a cartoonish Belgian person holding a basket and a 50 centimes coin, featuring the coat of arms of Belgium. The image uses caricature to emphasize stereotypically Belgian features, including wooden shoes, a large nose, and a basket of fish, adding a lighthearted touch to a collectible item.
