Comment
This coin exists only in bronze-aluminum and only for the year 1920. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Franc Chambres de Commerce (pattern-piéfort of Domard) 1920 from France made of Aluminium bronze weighing 8.05 g is that it was designed by French engraver and medalist, Ernest-Eugène Hiolle. Hiolle was known for his work on various French coins and medals, and his design for this coin features a woman personifying France, surrounded by symbols of commerce and industry. The coin's design was meant to represent the country's economic recovery and growth after World War I.
