France-Notgeld Coin List
France's numismatic history is rich and fascinating, spanning centuries of monetary evolution. From the earliest Gallic coinage to the modern euro, French coins have reflected the political, economic and cultural changes of the country. An interesting chapter in this history is the phenomenon of the Notgeld, which although more commonly associated with Germany, also had its manifestation in France during periods of crisis.
French monetary evolution
French currency has undergone numerous transformations over the centuries. From the silver denarius introduced by Charlemagne to the franc, which became the national currency after the French Revolution in 1795. The franc underwent several reforms, including the creation of the New Franc in 1960, which was equivalent to 100 old francs. Finally, in 2002, France adopted the euro as part of the European Union, marking the end of more than 200 years of the franc as the national currency.
Notgeld in France
Although the Notgeld is best known in the German context, France also experimented with this type of "emergency money" during the First World War. In regions such as Alsace and Lorraine, occupied by Germany, local Notgelds were issued. In addition, during the German occupation in World War II, some French cities and chambers of commerce issued their own emergency coins to cope with cash shortages. These French Notgelds are now valuable collector's items that offer a unique insight into France's monetary and social history in times of crisis.
