With large "1" on the reverse and no "-" below "F"Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Franc - Entreprise Collet et Gouvernet (large "1") ND (1912) from Morocco made of Aluminium weighing 1.46 g is that it was issued during the French colonial period in Morocco, specifically during the protectorate era (1912-1956). The coin was minted by the Entreprise Collet et Gouvernet, a private company that was granted the authority to issue coins for the French colonies in North Africa. The large "1" on the coin represents the denomination of 1 franc, which was the standard unit of currency in the French colonies at the time. The use of aluminum as the material for the coin was also a unique choice, as most coins of that era were made of more traditional metals like copper, silver, or gold.
