I'm not sure where we got this coin ,i didn't buy it or find it.
And I'm pretty sure it wasn't my father's either.
Probably a leftover from our grandfather.
A nice little coin, that's why it's still in my collection.
Of course, because it's silver.
Obverse: Head of the Republic on the left as Ceres, goddess of the harvest, wearing a pearl necklace, a double bun and a composite crown of wheat, flowers, olive tree and olives, oak and acorns, tied by a ribbon descending on the neck and passing on the forehead where the word CONCOR is written; under the edge of the neck along the listel EA OUDINÉ. F..Although the word chonchor is not visible on my coin, the years have taken their toll.
Reverse : 50 Cent,In two lines in the field, above the vintage, in a composite wreath of two oak branches and two laurel branches, tied two by two at the bottom with a ribbon; under the knot, the workshop letter.
