Belgium Occupation Coins

Hello experts!

 

Why the WWI coins from Belgium are “Occupation Coinage” but WWII doesn't mention that? 

 

There were some special case or it just wasn't standardized?

 

Example:

Occupation Coinage

N#513

 

Standard Coinage

N#5330

While the second coin you mentioned was issued under occupation it was also issued in 1946. So while the design was created under occupation the type wasn't just issued under occupation.

 

You could argue that N#6013 is an occupation type as it wasn't produced after 1943, but it would seem strange to have part of the series labeled a occupation coins.

 

(But it all comes down to what editors and reviewers agree on. Come up with a proposed set of changes and try it out.)

That does make sense, thank you for your answer.
