Interesting fact
The Token 50 Centimes coin was issued by a private company in France during World War I, specifically in 1915, as a substitute for the official currency, which was in short supply at the time. The use of aluminum as the material for the coin was an unusual choice, as most coins were made of more traditional metals like copper, silver, or gold. The fact that this coin was made of aluminum, which was a relatively new material at the time, speaks to the innovative nature of the company that produced it.
