France 50 Centimes, 1 Franc and 2 Francs 1920 to 1929

That's kind of a neat coin, isn't it? These coins were minted in aluminum bronze from 1920 to 1929. There are 100 centimes in a franc, so a 50 centimes coin is half a French franc. The same pattern was used for the 1 franc and 2 francs coins, with the 'bon pour' ('good for') annotation changed on the other side.

Here are some approximate catalog values for these coins:
