10 Centimes

Poissy's 1918 aluminum token belongs to the enormous wave of French municipal emergency coinage that flooded local economies after the Third Republic's wartime metal requisitions stripped copper from civilian use. Hundreds of communes issued their own substitute currency during the conflict, with varying degrees of official sanction from the prefectural authorities.

Poissy's particular series is catalogued under El Monedero with at least two documented varieties for this denomination.
