Commentary
Les gisements de plomb et d’argent de Gar-Rouban, près de la frontière marocaine, ont été découverts en 1850 et exploités à partir de 1856. À son apogée (1860-1862), cette mine produit 3000 tonnes de galène (sulfure naturel de plomb) par an mais la production baisse rapidement jusqu’à la liquidation de la société d’exploitation en 1869.

Historical background
MINES AND FORGES
The numismatics of the mines was the subject of a study by Jules Florange in 1904. The latter listed the numismatic material relating to the mines: medals, tokens of attendance, tokens of necessity or fiduciary coins, tokens of the superintendents of the mines. Another remarkable work is the work of the Association of Coin Collectors in 1999.
