Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 50 Centimes (Chambers of Commerce Coinage) 1921 from Djibouti (notgeld) made of Bronze weighing 4.20 g is that it was used as a form of currency in Djibouti during a time of economic crisis. The coin was issued by the Chamber of Commerce in Djibouti in 1921 as a response to a shortage of official currency, and it was accepted as legal tender by local merchants and traders. Despite its small denomination, the coin played an important role in facilitating economic transactions in the region during a time of need.
