Always the language collector I puzzled over the French poster.
And over the British poster as well.
Gold was currently in circulation during WWI. I originally thought that the poster meant to turn in one's gold. However, I think that both "Sovereign" and "Or" [gold]
mean simply "money." Very poetically put.
The French reads "Gold fights for victory."
Fast forward to WWII America - "Buy Bonds"

Kenkat, I think you are right. The book had mostly wwii posters but these do look like wwi era.
Thedollarman, those are some nice ones as well. I like seeing them in color.

Though ironically there was no 5 Shillings (or Crown) minted in 1915

Wow! So cool. Love those Australian silver poster "coins". The World At War One Crown Poster ingots are from the Bradford Exchange.
