10 Centimes Postal Currency, Société Générale

France · 1920 · 10 centimes

A French 10 centimes Sower stamp, depicting an allegorical figure of a sower, is encased within a circular metal frame issued by Société Générale, featuring text around its perimeter.

This postal currency was issued by Société Générale around 1920, likely in response to a shortage of small denomination coins in France following World War I, serving as a form of emergency money.
