10 cent of Leopold I, 1864
Details
What could it buy?
A glass of faro in Brussels cost 12 centimes (in 1855 and still in 1872): a little more than this coin. In 1880 an adult factory worker earned about 2.50 to 3.60 francs a day, or 25 to 36 of these coins.
Approximate, in the prices and wages of the time.
