L'Intransigeant 10 Centimes Necessity Token
France · 1900 · 10 centimes
A circular token, not a traditional postage stamp, featuring the newspaper name 'L'Intransigeant' at the top and 'JOURNAL' at the bottom, with '10 CENTIMES' prominently displayed in the center.
Issued as 'necessity money' by the French newspaper L'Intransigeant in the early 20th century, likely to address a shortage of small change in circulation.
