Commentary


Les gisements de plomb et d’argent de Gar-Rouban, près de la frontière marocaine, ont été découverts en 1850 et exploités à partir de 1856. À son apogée (1860-1862), cette mine produit 3000 tonnes par an de galène (sulfure naturel de plomb) mais la production baisse rapidement jusqu’à la liquidation de la société d’exploitation en 1869.

Historical background


MINES AND FORGES

The numismatics of the mines was the subject of a study by Jules Florange in 1904. The latter listed the numismatic material relating to the mines: medals, tokens of attendance, tokens of necessity or fiduciary coins, tokens of the superintendents of the mines. Another remarkable work is the work of the Association of Coin Collectors in 1999.
