<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 11536440, member: 19165&quot;]I just bought this token, and I don&#039;t know a whole lot about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw this token in a recent Heritage sale. Mostly, the only thing I know about it is that I&#039;ve never seen one so nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s what I know:</p><p>- it is in really nice condition (graded NGC MS-65)</p><p>- it is a hexagon (unusual shape)</p><p>- it is aluminum</p><p>- it is listed in Krause as Tn1, and Lecompte as Lec-300</p><p>- it was minted in Morocco, with a denomination of 1 Franc</p><p>- it was issued by &quot;Enterprise Collet &amp; Gouvernet&quot;</p><p>- it comes with two varieties, Small 1 on reverse with line under F, and Large 1 on reverse with no line under F. This is the first one</p><p>- there are 2 other denominations, a 2 Franc and a 5 Franc (which also has 2 varieties, total of 5 coins in the series)</p><p>- it is ex-Archipelago Collection, which, when I looked at the rest of the lots in the sale, was a really cool collection</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s what I don&#039;t know:</p><p>- who was &quot;Enterprise Collet &amp; Gouvernet&quot;?</p><p>- When were these minted? (some places seem to say 1912, but I can find no evidence of that)</p><p>- Where were these minted/issued? (more specifically than Morocco)</p><p>- Why were these made? (they are referred to as &quot;monnaie d&#039;necessite&quot;, but I don&#039;t know what that means)</p><p>- How were these used (or, were these used?)</p><p>- How many of these were made?</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone with more info, or if you have one yourself, please post!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1526179[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1526180[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
