Description:

Offered in this online estate auction is a vintage collection of French holed coins dating from approximately 1913 through 1925, representing an important period in French and European history spanning World War I and the early post-war years.

This grouping includes a variety of French centimes and franc denominations, many intentionally holed during circulation for practical use, storage, or identification. These holed examples are widely collected today for their authentic wear, character, and real-world historical use. Designs include classic French Republic imagery such as Marianne, wreath and numeric motifs, and early 20th-century typography.

Several coins remain housed in vintage collector flips with handwritten notes, suggesting decades of private collecting and study. Condition varies throughout the lot, consistent with circulation, age, and use, making this an appealing group for world coin collectors, history enthusiasts, educators, estate buyers, and resellers.
