Commentary
Les essais des 5, 10 et 25 centimes ont été frappés en laiton et en argent, ce qui les différencient des séries de circulation qui sont en aluminium. Il y a eu deux émissions pour les Chambres de Commerce de la région provençale. Il s’agit ici de la seconde en 1921.
The 5, 10, and 25 centime trials were struck in brass and silver, which differentiates them from the circulation series, which are made of aluminum. There were two issues for the Chambers of Commerce of the Provence region. This is the second in 1921.

Historical background
CHAMBRES DE COMMERCE / CHAMBRES DE COMMERCE
At the end of the war of 14-18, there is no more money. Cities and Chambers of Commerce which already had the right to issue banknotes, in particular in the occupied zone, will have the possibility of circulating emergency banknotes which help monetary circulation. This type of official coin responds to the same request. It does not bear the words REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE or LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE, but "CHAMBRES DE COMMERCE" followed by the name of the town or region. Despite the will of the authorities, these coins could never be minted in silver, the majority being in aluminum.
