Tubecuir 10 Centimes Encased Postage Stamp

France · 1920 · 10 centimes

A green 10 centimes French postage stamp, likely a definitive issue, encased in a circular metal holder. The holder features advertising text for 'Tubecuir 8, rue Drouot à Paris' around its rim.

This 'timbre-monnaie' served as emergency currency during a period of coin shortages in France around 1920, often issued by businesses like Tubecuir for change and advertising purposes.
