Belgium Centimes 1942-44

Thanks,
Ok,so why the Krause German Occupation WWII
for one and not the other and why the two
different legends(some French,some Dutch)
the mintage appears to be 50/50?

If I remember my history correctly, prior to 1830 most of the northern part of the country was part of the Netherlands so the people spoke Dutch (Flemish). After 1830 independence was gained and a monarchy was formed. In the Southern part of the country closer to France the Walloons spoke French. The language difference did not chance.

Thanks for the replies.
I had been surfing for about
an hour,and though I was unable
to find anything that specificly
said so,I was beginning to think
that this two languages for the same coin
was done in an attempt to placate
the peoples of both of the two major languages.
From what I WAS able to find,cultural differences
have,apparently,been a problem for/in Belgium for a VERY long time
and still continue today.
