What's a 19th Century Belgian coin "without signature"?

    I have an 1857 Belgian copper 2 centimes, KM#4.2. Krause shows two versions, one of which it identifies only as "w/o signature". Krause also describes varieties for some years "w/o stop in signature".

    Except for the date, mine appears to have all the designs and inscriptions on the one pictured in Krause, but I don't see anything that could be considered a signature. Does anyone know what they are talking about :confused:

    I've also attached a copy of the 5 centime shown in Krause, which is exactly the same design, just larger.

    Roy, below the date, where your picture is cut off there is the name, or 'signature', of the designer(?) 'BRAEMT F.' . I believe the 'stop' they refer to is the tiny period after the F.

    Thank you Brad. I didn't realize that the designer's name in block letters was considered a "signature". Mine has it, so it's the lower value variety.
