St. Joseph Museums

The image shows a vintage coin, likely made of brass or a similar metal, featuring the inscription “BON POUR 2 FRANCS” in large letters. The number "2" is centrally prominent, surrounded by stylized olive or laurel branches symbolizing peace or victory. Additional text in Arabic script is below the main inscription, which appears to convey the same denomination information catered to a different linguistic audience. The coin’s edge has a subtle, beaded texture, suggesting a historical or colonial design, possibly from a period when French influence extended across various regions. Its worn appearance indicates age and use, adding historical significance.
