25 Centimes Lacour et Chasseriaud Timbre-monnaie

France · 1910 · 25 centimes

A circular emergency currency token encasing a French 25 centimes Sower stamp, with 'TIMBRE-MONNAIE' and 'LACOUR & CHASSERIAUD' inscribed on its metal frame.

These 'stamp-money' tokens were privately issued emergency currency during periods of metal scarcity, typically during the early 20th century, to facilitate small transactions when official coinage was in short supply.
