Interesting fact
The Token 25 Centimes coin was used as a substitute for the official currency of France, the franc, during World War I. The coin was issued by a private company, Société Anonyme Token Coinage, and was made of aluminum, which was a cheaper and more abundant material than the traditional metals used for coins at the time. Despite its unusual material, the coin was still accepted as legal tender in many parts of France, particularly in the northern region of France, where it was circulated widely. This coin is a unique piece of history that highlights the resourcefulness and resilience of the French people during a time of war and economic hardship.
