Issued in 1982, this Belgian 9 Franc stamp commemorates the 150th anniversary of the nation's judicial power, established in 1832. The design presents a striking juxtaposition of the classical façade of an early courthouse and the outline of the monumental Palace of Justice in Brussels. A horse-drawn carriage and figures in the foreground evoke 19th-century legal tradition, while the architectural contrast highlights Belgium’s legal evolution over time. The inscriptions “Pouvoir Judiciaire” and “Rechterlijke Macht” appear in both national languages, reflecting the country’s bilingual heritage.
