10 Centimes Aubry Necessity Money (Timbre-monnaie)

France · 1920 · 10 centimes

A French 10 centimes Sower stamp is encased in a circular metal frame, issued by Emailleries Aubry of Saultain. The metal frame is inscribed with the company name and the denomination 'DIX CENTIMES'.

This 'timbre-monnaie' was issued by a private company, Emailleries Aubry, to serve as local necessity money. Such issues were common in France during periods of coin scarcity, particularly in the aftermath of World War I.
