CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE DE BONE

Interesting fact
This coin was issued during World War I, specifically in 1915, when the city of Bône (now known as Annaba) was under French rule. The coin was minted by the Bône Chamber of Commerce to address a shortage of small change in the local economy, as the French franc was the official currency of the region at the time. The coin's design features the profile of a woman representing the city of Bône, surrounded by the words "Chambre de Commerce de Bône" and the date "1915". The coin's brass composition and relatively low weight made it a practical and affordable solution for everyday transactions in the region.
