Interesting fact
This coin was issued during the French colonial era in Algeria, specifically in the city of Oran, and was used as a substitute for the official French currency due to a shortage of small change. It was issued by the Oran Chamber of Commerce and features the city's coat of arms on one side and the value and year on the other. The use of aluminum as the material for the coin was a unique choice at the time and adds to its collectible value.
