Comment

Special mint for collectors, commissioned by Louis Ciani, a coin and medal dealer in Paris (source: Y. BRUGIÈRE, Les émissions de nécessité de la Chambre de Commerce de Nice et des Alpes-Maritimes, Nice, 2016).

Less rare than the brass (1920) and copper (1920 and 1922 - Elie 2003, p. 237) strikes.
