Trois pièces furent fabriquées pour la Grande Comore en 1890 par l'atelier de Paris : 5 et 10 centimes et 5 francs. Ces pièces circulèrent jusqu'en 1912. Les pièces de 5 et 10 Centimes existent en deux variétés, avec les différentes faisceau ou torche.
Historical background
COMOROS
The Comoros archipelago forms a group of islands located southeast of Africa, east of Tanzania and northwest of Madagascar. These islands are shared between an independent country, the Union of the Comoros, and Mayotte, a French overseas collectivity. In 1946, the islands are no longer administratively attached to Madagascar and form for the first time in their history a united and recognized administrative entity (TOM). After the independence of African countries in the 1960s, a number of intellectuals began to call for independence. The country obtained it on July 6, 1975 but claimed the sovereignty of Mayotte, i.e. the entire Comoros archipelago..
