Frankreich 1 Franc 1943 Algiers Graziani, Algiers, Épreuve du graveur, Aluminium VZ+

Preisanfrage

Head on the left of Marianne (Morlon type slightly modified), with the name of this engraver reproduced in the field., Two cornucopia surrounding the value and the date., Extremely rare engraver specimen/trial of the 1 franc "Graziani" on a large flan, coming from the personal collection of the engraver Graziani! Known only to a very few number of specimens, with 3 examples to date, these specimens were struck in free French Algeria, in 1943, in an artisanal way. After the liberation of the region by Anglo-American troops in the winter of 1942, Algeria decided to join the Allies in the war and was cut off from all supplies from the Metropole. To make up for the lack of money, it was decided in the summer of 1943 by the French Committee for National Liberation, sitting in Algiers, to authorize by ordinance the launching of a money minting. The task of engraver fell to Jean Graziani, who created dies with the means at hand and initially struck a few aluminum specimens on a large flan, such as the one we offer for sale. The production of the types intended for the circulation begins at the end of 1943 but stops at the beginning of 1944, the ordinance of striking having never been ratified by the commissioner for the finances and these coins being then considered illegal were almost all sent to the melting., REPUBLIQVE FRANÇAISE, LIBERTE-EGALITE FRATERNITE / 1 FRANC / 1943
