Raspail Liqueur 5 Centimes Stamp-Money

France · 1900 · 5 centimes

A circular metal disc with a paper label, featuring '5 centimes' and 'RASPAIL' for a liqueur establishment. The design includes text and a decorative border.

This 'stamp-money' served as emergency currency issued by the Raspail liqueur establishments in early 20th century France, likely due to a shortage of small change. It reflects a period when private businesses sometimes issued their own tokens for transactions.
