Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2134 Posts	Posted 09/08/2013 5:23 pm Having bought a new magnifying glass, I was able to read this. It has very tiny print, continuously HALFFRANCTOKENNAAFIONLY on both faces. It seems to be in bakelite, possibly with a cardboard core, about 24.5mm across. When were they issued, where were they used, how much is it worth retail, please ? Are there other denominations to collect ? Were soldiers expected to read the print, or would they know its denomination by size or colour ? Report this Post to the Staff

Our motto of Serving the Services is as true now as it was in 1920 when it all began. Edited by philadelphian 09/08/2013 6:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
