20 Francs module of 20 Francs Turin, 10th Anniversary of Peace

Struck to mark the tenth anniversary of the Treaty of Versailles, this piece was issued as a module — a medallic format using the dimensions and weight of a circulation coin without being released for general commerce. Pierre Turin's design had already appeared on the regular 10 Francs issue of 1929, making this commemorative a deliberate political gesture rather than a practical monetary instrument. The French government used occasions like this to assert postwar prestige at a moment when the franc itself had only just been stabilized under Poincaré's 1928 monetary reforms.
