| Beschrijving voorzijde | At center, the small crowned coat of arms of the French department of Constantine rendered in relief within the field. A circular legend reading CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE above and CONSTANTINE below frames the device, with the date 1922 appearing beneath the shield, flanked by decorative dots. The overall composition is neat and heraldically precise, befitting an official chamber of commerce issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Constantine's Chamber of Commerce began issuing local necessity coinage after World War I left French Algeria chronically short of small change — the metropolitan supply never fully recovered, and remote interior cities like Constantine felt the shortage most acutely. These aluminium jetons circulated as genuine small-denomination substitutes rather than trade tokens in any commercial sense.
The aluminium composition was a pragmatic response to postwar metal economics, not an aesthetic choice.
