This specimen is one of a type struck 1933-39 for France at the Paris mint. Of the six dates issued, two are common (1933 and 1935), two are tough (1937 and 1938) and two are very rare (1936 and 1939--counterfeits exist of these dates). It was superseded by an aluminum-bronze coin of the same design, struck 1938-40 and 1945-47.
Recorded mintage: 1,925,844 (priced about five times the common date, 1933).
Specification: 12 g, pure nickel (magnetic), 31 mm diameter, plain edge, designed by André Henri Lavrillier (1885-1958).
Catalog reference: KM 888, F.336/6, Gad-760.
