Hello,

Can anyone identify this coin for me? We feel t is quite old and found it
on our friends land in France. Any information would be brillant.

Cheers

Hi Sally,
It's a French Chamber of Commerce good for token that was issued in
1922. It could be a 50 centime, 1 franc or 2 franc piece depending on
the size. This token was made of an aluminum bronze. In this condition
it wouldn't have any numismatic value.

Wow, good eye! Now that you said that, the caduceus just leaps out, where
it was a meaningless shape before.
