Comment
Special mint for collectors, commissioned by Louis Ciani, a coin and medal dealer in Paris (source: Y. BRUGIÈRE, Les émissions de nécessité de la Chambre de Commerce de Nice et des Alpes-Maritimes, Nice, 2016).
Less rare than the brass (1920) and copper (1920 and 1922 - Elie 2003, p. 237) strikes.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1920 to commemorate the centenary of the Chamber of Commerce of Nice, which was established in 1820. The coin features an image of the Chamber of Commerce building on one side and the coat of arms of the Commune of Nice on the other. It was made of silver and weighs 3.71 grams.
