Though construction is 1950s, the pieces were
revalued in 1960 after the French Monetary Reform
Act, where every 100 French francs became 10 New
francs (NF). Casinos had the option of ordering a
new inventory or making the adjustment on the piece.
These are my last four pieces other than those in my
collection.
Below is an example of a very rare natural
Mother-of-Pearl plaque used at the original casino.
