These are commonly available in much better shape but without these wonderful colors. If you know more, such as a catalog reference, please let me know more so I can include it here. Soldiers involved in the landing of Provence received these coins, which circulated in the south of France and Algeria. This unofficial coin was regulated by the Minister of Finance on June 25, 1945.
