<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2194639, member: 39&quot;]Here is my guess. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; The institution that makes the French coins is called &quot;Monnaie de Paris&quot; regardless of where the pieces are produced. These days for example all coins are minted in Pessac near Bordeaux, but that does not affect the name.</p><p><br /></p><p>The facility in Poissy was operated by SFM (Société française de monnayage), so maybe adding &quot;Paris Mint&quot; in Arabic was a way of saying yes, this is official money. Anyway, I also believe that this particular piece was minted in Poissy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
