Succeeding the silver coins whose production ceased in 1920, these first coins in various metals (aluminum bronze) are officially considered as necessity currencies produced on a national scale. They witnessed great economic instability at the turn of the 1920s.
There are many striking defects linked to the poorness of the metal which tended to obstruct the narrow details in the corners; thus it is easy to find the complete or incomplete signature, the total or partial absence of the central circle as well as some variants linked to the numbers of the vintage (2 closed, 3 thin or thick, 4 closed, 5 closed, etc.).
Only the mintmark "Cornucopia" is present on the reverse.
These coins are still easily found in all states of conservation (including FDC), with a slight difficulty for 1920, 1926 and 1927 in very high grade.

Indicative availability:
