Commentary
Ce millésime n’est pas référencé dans le Lecompte. Les années connues pour le Togo se limitent à 1924, essai et frappe courante, et 1925, frappe courante.
Le poids (4 grammes), le diamètre (23 mm), le métal utilisé (bronze aluminium) et l’année (1926) peut laissr penser qu’il s’agit d’un essai de frappe d’une 1 Franc Morlon Malheureusement, sans preuve formelle.
On peut aussi penser que l’année 1926 avait été prévue pour le Togo, que les coins furent réalisés et que la frappe specimen resta la seule. Mais ceci n’expliquerait pas la différence de poids.
This vintage is not referenced in the Lecompte. The known years for Togo are limited to 1924, test and common strike, and 1925, common strike. The weight (4 grams), the diameter (23 mm), the metal used (aluminum bronze) and the year (1926) may suggest that this is a test strike of a 1 Franc Morlon. Unfortunately, without formal proof. We can also think that the year 1926 had been planned for Togo, that the dies were made and that the specimen strike remained the only one. But this would not explain the difference in weight
