Interesting Jetons Eugene. Alas I only have the German WW1 pieces. Good stuff !!!

 

From Hérault. That is one of the French départements, in the southern region of Languedoc-Roussillon. Here are some more Hérault pieces, both from the chamber of commerce and from this food wholesale association: http://www.jetons-monnaie.net/a/aherault.html

the creme de la creme of my collection of WW1 french tokens is a 1 franc coin for use by the british expeditionary force at the somme, for some reason i can't upload it at present but i will try again later.

 

I don't have any French coins or tokens, but this is one of my Belgian medals from WWI. Note that it has been paired with an 1839 medal proclaiming Belgian neutrality.
