Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 5 Francs - Entreprise Collet et Gouvernet ND (1912) from Morocco made of Aluminium weighing 2.39 g is that it was issued during the French colonial period in Morocco, specifically during the protectorate era (1912-1956). The coin was minted by the Paris Mint, and it features an image of a woman representing the French Republic on one side and a Moroccan mosque on the other. The use of aluminum in the coin's minting was a deliberate choice to make it more durable and resistant to corrosion, given the harsh climatic conditions in Morocco. Today, this coin is considered a rare collector's item and a symbol of Morocco's rich history and cultural heritage.
