Comment
Issued by the Coopérative de Consommation du Personnel de l'Atelier des Monnaies et MédaillesInteresting fact
The Token 10 Francs coin was part of a series of emergency coins minted by the city of Paris during World War II, when the city was occupied by Nazi Germany. The coins were made of brass, a common metal used for coins at the time, and featured a simple design with the value of the coin on one side and the city's coat of arms on the other. Despite their humble appearance, these coins are now highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and rarity.
