Comment
Printed signature - no stamp - numbered - on white card. Interesting fact
Did you know that this coin was created as a result of a shortage of metals during World War I? The Commune of Issigeac in the Department of Dordogne, France, issued this coin made of cardboard as a substitute for traditional metal coins. This coin is a unique example of how communities adapted to the challenges of war by using alternative materials for currency.
