Interesting fact
This coin was issued during the French colonial era in Algeria, specifically in the city of Constantine, which was an important center of trade and commerce. The coin was used as a token for small transactions and was issued by the local Chamber of Commerce. The use of aluminum in the coin's minting was a unusual choice at the time, as most coins were made of more traditional metals like copper, silver, or gold. The fact that this coin was made of aluminum, which was a relatively new material at the time, speaks to the innovative spirit of the people of Constantine and their willingness to adopt new technologies.
