Kortrijk (mint city, present day municpality in West-Flanders, Belgium) first saw coinage under Charles the Bald (840–877),
with the mint named as CVRT, CVRTARI or CVRTRIACO. In the 13th century, anonymous Flemish pennies were struck, sometimes bearing
the legend CVRT. During World War I, three series of emergency money were issued, dated 20 October 1914, 1914, and 1915.
