Societe Cooperative LA Fraternelle * Pexonne * 1 F. Token

[Roger Mn.]

Found this token in the woods today and this is what I came up with.
It appears to be French from around 1884. If you go to page 4 on this site at the very bottom of the page there is a 1F. My French is not good.

It's the same on both sides. Roger

Another reference is here, on page 128:

The reference book appears to have been published in 1897.

Your referenced paragraph translates (very roughly) to:
"We have an indication of wage rules in 1884, the average daily wage for men planetary Pexonne 2.5, at 6 francs for women 1.5 Frs and February 1 for children 75 1F 1F."

I don't understand the word planetary unless it means 'citizens of'. Pexonne is a community in eastern France.

Thanks Mackaydon. I wasn't sure I was on the track but now I am.
