French Aluminum

Howdy y'all, happy New Year, even! image

I want to start a type set of aluminum 1 franc pieces from all the French colonies/territories. So far that's one area I haven't really touched.. mostly because I don't bother with eBay when shipping costs more than the coin. I figure this should be quick, easy and fairly inexpensive. Right now I'm just going for the 1Fs so I can get each place covered and will eventually fill out the other denoms. [/rambling] I'd appreciate it if you guys could look over my list and let me know if I'm missing anything:

Name dates - KM
Cameroun 1948 - 8
Comoros 1964 - 4
Djibouti (Somaliland) 1948-9 - 4; 1959,65 - 8
Djibouti (Affars & Issas) 1969-75 - 16
Fr Equitorial Africa 1948 - 6
Fr Oceania 1949 - 2
Fr Polynesia 1965 - 2; 1975-85 - 11
Fr West Africa 1948-55 - 3
Madagascar 1948-58 - 3
New Caledonia 1949 - 2; 71 - 8; 72-82 - 10
Reunion 1948-73 - 6,7
St Pierre & Miquelon 1948 - 1
Togo 1948 - 4

If anyone has some spares of these, or knows where I might find some (XF+) please do let me know. Thanks image

  • I've got these two for sure, possibly some others. I have to take off for a few hours, but I can look tonight if you're interested. $2 shipped for these two.

    Nice idea for a collection, spoon. I happen to like aluminum coins in high grades myself.

    Lord knows there were many of them made by the Warsaw mint.
