The 5 Franc was Ag up to 1967. 1968 is CuNi. In 1969 they went back to Ag. Then in 1970 they went back to CuNi.
I had to learn that the hard way. In fact the coin you bought from me in that lot is the coin that taught me the lesson.
The Ag specimens are KM # 40
The CuNi specimen is KM # 40a.1

Yep....from you. I have another, too. But that one sounds different!

It is 1931-1967 + 1969. I will clarify that on the site.
