Interesting fact
This coin was created as a token currency for use in the French colonies in Africa and the Pacific, particularly in the French Congo and Oceania. The coin was designed to be easily recognizable and distinguishable from other currencies in circulation, and its unique brass composition and weight made it difficult to counterfeit. Despite its intended use as a token currency, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
