Sin informacíon del emisor. El nombre en francés indica su posible origen en la época del canal francés. La seña fue fabricada por Scovil Manufactoring Company de Waterbury, CT, USA. El anverso y el reverso parecen idénticos, pero si se observan con detenimiento, existen pequeñas diferencias entre ambos troqueles. |
