Comment
Numismatic Bulletin 017 page 7 https://www.bulletin-numismatique.fr/bn/pdf/bn017.pdf"This is a fake, not silver, scam of the time, of Spanish origin (?) which aimed to deceive the gogos enticed by the metallic value of the 50 francs at the time of the great speculation of 1980 (this coin, by weight, went up to 135 francs!). The pseudo-anniversary date is simply intended to make it possible to claim that this was not a fake but a private commemorative, and I don't recall the slightest charge being laid, despite the resounding success of these coins, which are frequently seen reappearing. Zero collector's value, of course."
