1948–1955 Belgium 20 & 50 Francs Silver Mercury 2-pc Set VF-XF

The REAL “Mercury Dimes”

At one time, the United States struck dimes featuring Liberty wearing a winged cap — an image many wrongly assumed was Mercury, the Roman god of commerce. The mistake led to the coin being nicknamed the “Mercury Dime.” That coin was last struck in 1945. Just a few years later, Belgium struck the real thing — two 83.5% fine silver coins bearing an effigy of the real Mercury!
