Interesting fact
This coin was designed to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Bône Chamber of Commerce, and it features an image of a woman representing the city of Bône, surrounded by various symbols of industry and commerce. The coin was never officially issued, however, due to the outbreak of World War I, which disrupted the production process and made it impossible to distribute the coins. As a result, only a small number of trial coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
