Commentary
Très rare jeton dont seulement 500 exemplaires furent fabriqués en 1891 à la Monnaie de Paris.
Après 1858, l'ouverture de la ligne de chemin de fer Béziers-Graissessac entraîne un développement important du bassin minier local. En 1946, les mines de Graissessac sont nationalisées et entrent dans le groupe des houillères du bassin des Cévennes.

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.
