Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Commune of Kénadsa, which was a small mining town in the Territory of Aïn-Sefra, Algeria, during the early 20th century. The coin was issued by the Sociétés des Houillères du Sud Oranais, a mining company that operated in the region, and it was made of aluminum, which was a relatively new and innovative material for coins at the time. Despite its small denomination, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its unique history and rarity.
