10 Centimes Postal Currency, Aux Dames de France

France · 1920 · 10 centimes

A 10 centimes French Sower stamp encased in a circular metal holder. The holder's reverse side features text 'AUX DAMES DE FRANCE' and '10 C.'.

These postal currency items were created during periods of coin scarcity, particularly after World War I in France, allowing postage stamps to circulate as small change. The 'Aux Dames de France' inscription suggests a patriotic or charitable association.
