Comment
From CGB: "The coins of the Bone Chamber of Commerce are minted in aluminum. This strike is a supposed forgery in zinc as Jean Lecompte lists."Interesting fact
The Token 10 Centimes (Bougie Chamber of Commerce) 1915 from Commune of Bougie (Department of Constantine) made of Zinc weighing 6.22 g is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during a time of economic turmoil in France, specifically in the region of Constantine, and was used as a substitute currency when official coins were scarce. Its unique design and material make it stand out among other coins of its time, and its rarity has led to high demand among collectors.
