Question
I have just found a paper 5 centime coin in with some old coins
it says BANQUE DU EMISSION DE LILLE AND IS DATED 1915.
I want to know if this is worth anything, it is fairly worn, as I think you would expect from a paper coin!
Hi June, with heavy wear it may be worth about a dollar or more depending on amount of collector demand.. These emergency issues were issued by many French towns for lack of small change during that WWI period.
