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 par an de galène (sulfure naturel de plomb) mais la production baisse rapidement jusqu’à la liquidation de la société d’exploitation en 1869.
The lead and silver deposits of Gar-Rouban, near the Moroccan border, were discovered in 1850 and exploited from 1856. At its peak (1860-1862), this mine produced 3000 tonnes per year of galena (natural lead sulfide) but production declined rapidly until the liquidation of the operating company in 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.
