Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 2 Francs (Société Anonyme Token Coinage; Uniface) ND (1915) made of Aluminium is that it was created as a substitute for traditional currency during World War I. Due to the wartime shortage of metals, the French government authorized the use of aluminum tokens as a temporary replacement for coins. This coin, minted in 1915, features the image of a woman representing France on one side and the value of 2 francs on the other. It was used widely in the French colonies and territories, and its unique design and historical significance make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
