Here some early Belgium.
The cancels are some different from those of the same period.
Can anyone share both id, some value and details about the cancels?
Thanks.

Rod started a pizza wheel thread that pictures many of the rollers, and discusses the usage.

The first stamp illustrates how little space was
given for separation, even for scissors one would
have to be focused to miss the stamp.

From the limited knowledge I have of belgium
the top cancels are "lozenge" type dotted diamonds
with a number indicating the town from which it was franked.
Google "gros chiffres" and you can see the vast array of similar
hammers from france.

Your numeral lozenge on the 10c "medallions" is unusual for me,
all my early belgian were cancelled with about an 18 bar killer.
your lozenge may indicate late usage, but only guessing.

The cachet a barre obliterator was used from the beginning, up to 1864, I believe. Almost all of my first issues have this cancel. The "dotted killers" came next and went to 1873.
