Marcy Champagne 10 Centimes Necessity Money

France · 1905 · 10 centimes

A circular metal token with a paper label featuring the text 'CHAMPAGNE DE MARCY' and '10 CENTIMES', along with the address '41 BIS RUE DE CHATEAUDUN PARIS'. The reverse side is not visible but is part of the same token.

This item served as a private currency for the Marcy Champagne company in Paris during the early 20th century, likely issued due to a shortage of small change. Such 'necessity money' was common during periods of economic instability or currency scarcity.
