COMOROS

Two Comorien Tokens

    First this token of face value 100 Francs as is used (perhaps not presently) in the gaming machines of the casinos at the Galawa Beach Hotel and the Itsandra Hotel, both on Grande Comore (Ngazidja). I would hazard a guess that there will be a few other tokens for gaming machines in Comoros but as yet I cannot be certain.

Secondly an example of one of a number of types of Comorien tokens from early in the 20th century (around 1920). The legends read “SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME DE LA GRAND COMORE” // “BON DE 25c REBOURSABLE”. These are not cheap tokens, unlike some of the French emergency issues from around the time.
