-10%

-10% was a 1946 surcharge on Belgium stamps used to indicate reduced postal rates.

These are found on contemporary Baudouin definitives and Victory issue stamps. Baudouin 1.50f, 2f and 5f values were printed by typography this way by the post office. There were also hundreds of locally handstamped surcharges in various fonts and sizes, including ones done in different styles like "MIN 10%", "MOINS 10%", etc., etc. While the commonly used denominations above were supposedly the only ones intended to be surcharged, there were other values and issues handstamped, either by mistake or made for collectors.

As expected, there are also many bogus surcharges.
