Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 2 Francs (Société Anonyme Token Coinage; brass) ND (1915) made of Brass weighing 5.11 g is that it was used as a form of currency in some parts of France during World War I. Due to the war effort, there was a shortage of official currency, and private companies like Société Anonyme Token Coinage stepped in to produce tokens that could be used as currency. These tokens were made of brass and had a value of 2 francs, which was a significant amount at the time. This coin is a rare and interesting piece of history that highlights the resourcefulness and resilience of people during times of crisis.
