Interesting fact
This coin was used during the time of the Algerian War of Independence against France, which lasted from 1954 to 1962. The coin was likely used by the National Liberation Front (FLN) to finance their struggle for independence. The FLN used various means to raise funds, including issuing their own currency, which was not recognized by the French government. The use of this coin and other forms of currency issued by the FLN was seen as a symbol of resistance against French colonial rule and a statement of independence.
