<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bart, post: 135331, member: 5580&quot;]This coin was issued by the French Vichy régime, which indeed collaborated with the German occupier. It displayes the Franconian axe on the oberse and the words TRAVAIL-FAMILLE-PATRIE (Work-Family-Home Country) on the reverse.</p><p>It was minted in aluminum (that&#039;s why it&#039;s that light) in Paris (without mintmark)</p><p>Krause gives as mintage for 1943 : 205,564,000 , so I am afraid it is hardly a rare coin (and it has a value of about a dime).</p><p>This coin has been minted in Paris from 1942 to 1944, but also in Beaumont (mintmark B) in 1943 and 1944, and in Castelsarrasin (mintmark C) in 1944.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
