Iles Kerguelen

1981

Inscription  : ILES KERGUELEN PAIX
               FRZ - 25 FR - TUNGSTEN
Denomination : 25 Francs
Design       : Fred Zinkann

Material     : Tungsten
Mintage      : 3
Weight       : 12 gram

Due to the extreme hardness of the tungsten planchets both dies broke after three coins were made. So the mintage is only 3 pieces.
