Commentary
Comme les autres exemplaires répertoriés, MONNAIES VI, n° 2211 et MONNAIES XI n° 2131, cet exemplaire présente des plis sur la tranche, donnant l’apparence d’une pression trop forte, presque comme si cette pièce avait été frappée sans virole. Quelle qu’en soit la raison, on comprend pourquoi le zinc ne fut pas adopté pour frapper ce type.
Like the other examples listed, COINS VI, No. 2211 and COINS XI No. 2131, this example has creases on the edge, giving the appearance of excessive pressure, almost as if this coin had been struck without a collar. Whatever the reason, it is understandable why zinc was not adopted for striking this type

Historical background
PROVISIONAL GOVERNEMENT OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC
(26/08/1944-16/01/1947)
The Provisional Government of the French Republic (GPRF) is the name given to the French Committee for National Liberation (CFLN) led by General de Gaulle since June 1944 and in anticipation of the Allied landings. Recognized by the United States, little by little, the Provisional Government of the French Republic saw its authority extend to the liberated regions. This government was installed in Paris on August 31, 1944 and was reorganized in September to allow the entry of personalities from the internal resistance. This government remained in office until January 16, 1947, the date of the election of Vincent Auriol as President of the Fourth Republic. At its head are General de Gaulle, Félix Gouin, Georges Bidault and Léon Blum..
