When most people think of the coins of Vichy France, they recall the quite common zinc and aluminum coins, usually found in poor condition or corroded. Here are two that are quite scarce.
1944 Twenty Centimes in iron. KM #900.2a. Mintage 695,000. Scarce in any kind of decent condition.
1941 Five Francs in copper nickel. KM #901. Mintage 13,782,000 but it was never released for circulation and most were melted. Scarce in any condition.
