For now we have Belgian Congo with the Belgian kings like this:

Leopold II

Albert I

Leopold III

 

I will like to suggest we could do like this instead, with the main differance being the addition of the Congo Free State, being different from the rest of Belgian Congo. This is also reflected on the banknotes:

Congo Free State: House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha
- Leopold II (1865-1909)

Belgian Congo: House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha
- Albert I (1909-1934)
Belgian Congo: House of Belgium
- Leopold III (1934-1951)

 

Removing a ruler:

And could we also remove the Administrative Union, since it seems to belong to the Belgian Congo-Ruanda-Urundi?

 

Note for the coins:

I looked at the coins too, where there were issued coins in the name of Leopold II, but after the Belgian state took over the colony and naming it Belgian Congo. And after Leopold II died, in 1908.

This should probably be looked into, how that can be fixed. Should the LII 1909 coins be moved to Albert I?

I dont understand your request.

Here the current situation : what should change?

Oh, sorry. I figured out it was because the Belgian Congo and Belgian Free state were two different entitites. So it was just about finding the right country/issuere.

 

It can be closed. Thanks though :D
