| 背面描述 | The large denomination numeral '25' dominates the central field, accompanied by the 'c' centimes abbreviation to the right, with the date '1918' inscribed below. A circular legend surrounds the central motif, reading 'UNION DU COMMERCE & DE L'INDUSTRIE', interrupted at the base by a small five-pointed star serving as a punctuation device. The overall design is characteristic of French wartime necessity coinage issued by local chambers of commerce. |

Poissy's 1918 aluminum issue belongs to the vast category of French wartime nécessité coinage, produced when the Third Republic's small-denomination bronze and nickel coins vanished from circulation almost entirely — hoarded, melted, or swallowed by wartime metal demands. Municipalities across France filled the gap themselves, with results ranging from crude card tokens to reasonably well-struck aluminum pieces like this one. Poissy, an industrial commune on the Seine west of Paris, had the manufacturing infrastructure to do it properly.
