Comment

This coin is a tribute to all the servicemen - conscripted, enlisted, maintained, recalled... - living and dead, who took part in the Algerian War. The obverse illustrates an important page in the conflict: the "Pierres Précieuses" operations, while the reverse depicts the famous Southern Cross on a map of Algeria.
