Comment
According to Mazard, this piece, which is at the module of the 20 francs Turin, was struck following a private initiative, which explains why it does not carry a face value. Its commercialization has been prohibited, despite its real public success, for counterfeiting of a monetary type. When one considers the context of the times and the rise of perils, it is understandable that the public was very sensitive to this combination of symbols of the Semeuse and political leaders, symbols of peace. Georges Clémenceau (1841-1929), the father of the Victory, Raymond Poincaré (1860-1934), the restorer of the Franc, Aristide Briand (1862-1932), several times President of the Council, signatory with Stresemann of the Treaty of French-speaking disarmament German, represented the hopes of a France bleeding by the Great War ".Interesting fact
