1892 Egypt Suez Canal Token, 2 Francs

tbishopric

I'm putting together a small collection of Suez Canal tokens from Egypt. This 2 Franc piece is my latest addition. In this series of tokens from the Suez Canal Cooperative Society, a full set would include 5 Francs, 2 Francs, 1 Franc, 50 Centimes, 10 Centimes, and 5 Centimes. The 5 Franc piece is the most difficult to find (and expensive). References sometimes list them as used by workers building the canal, but the canal was completed in 1869.

Something I had never seen before plus it has some blue.

Nice looking piece.
