Interesting fact
This coin was used as a substitute for the official currency of France, the franc, during the early 20th century. The Token Coinage company produced these coins to alleviate the shortage of small change in circulation, particularly in the rural areas of France. The coin's design features the letters "SAT" (for Société Anonyme Token) on one side and the value "25 Centimes" on the other. Despite being made of brass, the coin was not officially recognized by the French government, and its use was eventually discontinued. Today, these coins are considered collectibles and can be found in auctions and online marketplaces.
