Lindauer type
The currencies of the standard Lindauer is a whole of emissions divisional Franc French struck between 1914 and 1946, characterized by the diversity of metals employed and the central hole which reproduced forever since. The subject common to all these currencies is due to the engraver Edmond-Emile Lindauer (1869 - 1942).
Two currencies had used nickel for the first time of 1903 to 1905, the 25 Dupuis centimes and Patey, but these coins were heavy, 7 grams. At the beginning of the war, in 1914, the project of Lindauer of a thinner and hollow coin in the center in order to save metal was accepted. It was the beginning of very long series, famous “the coins with hole” which perdurèrent until 1946, using less and less noble metals.
NB: the French State emitted of 1941 to 1943 of the parts of 10 hundreds and 20 hundreds out of zinc of a different type and also perforated. These parts, with the Lindauer type, constitute the only parts hollowed out in the center of French coining.
