Commentary
Toutes les 20 centimes État français contenues dans la Collection Michel ont pour point commun d’avoir une masse comprise aux alentours de 2.80 g. Par un effet du hasard (qui n'en est pas un) les exemplaires de la Collection PIERRE se situent à 3 g comme par exemple pour l'exemplaire suivant : https://www.cgb.fr/20-centimes-etat-francais-frappe-courante-1943-paris-f-153a-1-spl,v30_1159,a.html.
L'explication concernant les exemplaires de 2,8 g et de 3 g se trouve dans les archives de La Monnaie de Paris et à la page 832 de l'ouvrage “LE FRANC LES MONNAIES, LES ARCHIVES 2019” de Philippe Théret, le PV associé du 19 JUIN 1943 si situant en bas de page. L'alliage utilisé pour la réalisation des frappes est un zinc alu et il est précisé que les coins courants ont été utilisés (absence du mot essai). Les frappes ont donc été réalisées les 19 et 22 Juin 1943 sous la forme d'essais industriels (définition exacte d'une pré-série) sans le mot essai.
Le tirage réel est indiqué sur le PV:
- 3 g : 19 502 unités
- 2,8 g : 21 363 unités
Le modèle de 2,8 g n'ayant pas été retenu, l'ensemble du tirage a été cisaillé sauf 40 exemplaires et par conséquent un indice de rareté R3 est bien mérité pour l'ensemble des survivants. Le modèle de 3 g est donc de fait plus commun, la pré-série impossible à identifier par rapport au tirage normal qui a suivi.
Il est à noter que l'exemplaire actuellement en vente est lourd (2,88 g) pour un modèle 2,8 g mais la tolérance est large pour ce type (plus ou moins 5%) ce qui donne un modèle très léger jusqu'à 2,94 g. Le modèle léger de 3 g peut descendre jusqu'à 2,85 g. Ainsi le doute peut être permis pour cet exemplaire mais l'appartenance à la collection MICHEL peut permettre de le lever.
All the 20 centime French State coins contained in the Michel Collection have in common a mass of around 2. 80 g. By chance (which is not one) the examples of the PIERRE Collection are at 3 g as for example for the following example: https://www. cgb. fr/20-centimes-state-french-current-minted-1943-paris-f-153a-1-spl,v30_1159,a. html.
The explanation concerning the 2.8 g and 3 g examples can be found in the archives of La Monnaie de Paris and on page 832 of the work “LE FRANC LES MONNAIES, LES ARCHIVES 2019” by Philippe Théret, the associated PV of June 19, 1943 is located at the bottom of the page. The alloy used for the production of the strikes is zinc aluminum and it is specified that the standard dies were used (absence of the word test). The strikes were therefore carried out on June 19 and 22, 1943 in the form of industrial tests (exact definition of a pre-series) without the word test.
The actual mintage is indicated on the PV: - 3 g: 19,502 units - 2.8 g: 21,363 units The 2.8 g model not having been retained, the entire mintage was sheared except for 40 examples and consequently a rarity index R3 is well deserved for all the survivors. The 3g model is therefore in fact more common, the pre-series impossible to identify compared to the normal print run that followed.
It should be noted that the example currently on sale is heavy (2.88 g) for a 2.8 g model but the tolerance is wide for this type (plus or minus 5%) which gives a very light model up to 2.94 g. The lightweight 3g model can drop down to 2.85g. So doubt may be allowed for this example but the fact that it belongs to the MICHEL collection can help to remove it.

Historical background
FRENCH STATE
(07/10/1940-08/26/1944)
Born from the collapse of the Third Republic following the French defeat of May-June 1940, the French State was founded by a vote of the Parliament meeting in the National Assembly in Vichy on July 10, 1940. The National Assembly by 569 yes, 80 no and 17 abstentions gives "all powers to the government of the Republic, under the authority and signature of Marshal Pétain, for the purpose of promulgating by one or more acts a new constitution of the 'French State". This constitution must "guarantee the rights of Work, Family and Fatherland". By six acts of 1940, the presidency of the Republic is suppressed in favor of Marshal Pétain, head of the French state.. A supreme court of justice is created. Marshal Pétain exercises full power not only governmental but also legislative since he appoints and dismisses ministers, and he appoints to all civil or military jobs.. It also has justice and armed force. It negotiates and ratifies treaties. From 1941, all civil servants must take an oath to the Head of State. A moral and intellectual reform tackles divorce, abortion, alcoholism, prohibits Freemasonry and creates a Jewish Affairs Commissariat. Unions are abolished and replaced by a corporate system. The family is supported and the retirement of workers is instituted. The Montoire interview of October 24, 1940 commits France to the path of collaboration which becomes total from June 1941 with the attacks of the communist resistance.. The French State is also committed alongside Germany in an anti-Bolshevik crusade. After the progressive loss of the Empire, the southern zone is occupied by the Germans causing the scuttling of the fleet in Toulon. With the establishment of the Compulsory Labor Service (S. T. O. ), the resistance sees its ranks increase. The attacks, and their repression, increase while the National Council of Resistance is formed. The landing and the uprisings of the resistance allow the Provisional Government of the French Republic to increase its control. On August 20, 1944, Marshal Pétain was taken to Sigmaringen by the Germans. On the 25th, the Leclerc division was the first to enter Paris in a state of insurrection, thus sounding the death knell of the Vichy regime..
