FEATURING
front: Mercury, the god of commerce (god of abundance and commercial success)
Script: Latin
Lettering: COMMERCE INDUSTRIE
Translation: Industry of Commerce
Although issued by the Paris mint, technically this type is not a coin but a token issued by the national Chamber of Commerce, not the government. This enabled the politicians to postpone acknowledging the obvious, that the inflation of World War One had reduced the value of the franc to one-fifth of its former level and there was no going back. Finally, president Poincaré officially devalued the franc and ordered the issue of new coin types.
