2 Centimes Essai de frappe en aluminium ND

This coin was part of a series of experimental aluminum coins minted in the late 1950s, intended to replace the traditional bronze coins in circulation. The use of aluminum was considered a more cost-effective and durable option, but ultimately, the experiment was not successful, and the coins were not widely adopted. As a result, these coins are now considered rare and highly sought after by collectors.
