Well they're brass with values on them and the man that sold them to me said they were :)
He reckoned from a casino, possibly Granville, possibly Deauville?
Do you think they might be something else?

Not sure, that lunette in the one franc reminds me of something but can't quite place it.
Maybe after lunch, when the brain is refreshed. I'm more inclined to think that they are some kind of trade or commune token.

Many thanks AC :) I went through the complete France emergency money site, which is also in English by the way - no joy. And unfortunately the webmaster is not contactable. :(
Still, very interesting read, many thanks! :))

I saw some similar ones on the French site but they all had text. Couldn't find them so I've asked on the other forum for info. Many thanks :)
