Additional information

Collet et Gouvernet was a French construction firm active in the early twentieth century, and tokens like this one were issued as a practical substitute for coinage — paid to laborers on isolated worksites where ordinary currency was scarce and company-controlled scrip kept wages cycling back through the employer's own store or canteen. The aluminium composition was deliberate: cheap to strike, impossible to confuse with state coinage, and worthless beyond the firm's own ledger.
