Comment

The bottom of the token is printed on both sides with a succession of the same line: SOCIÉTÉ ACIÉRIES FORGES DE FIRMINY in yellow.

Société Anonyme des Aciéries et Forges de Firminy produced a wide range of raw and machined metallurgical products. Its catalog included anvils, hammers, sledgehammers, railway axles, railway rails, springs and suspension systems for the automotive and railway industries, as well as guns and other armaments. The company supplied a large number of breastplates for the creation of the Maginot Line. (source : https://wikimaginot.eu/V70_glossaire_detail.php?id=1000814)
