Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 5 Francs - Entreprise Collet et Gouvernet (uniface) ND (1912) from Morocco made of Aluminium weighing 3.88 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 France on one side and the denomination and year on the other. The use of aluminum in the coin's minting was a deliberate choice to reduce the cost of production, as aluminum was a relatively inexpensive metal at the time. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and collectors of African colonial currency.
