Tri-metallic coins

You can buy them from Numiscorner, yes I know the post is from 2013. WW2 ended in 1945 as well.

   I have that one, from France, and there are 24 search results on here ...

If my memory is correct the mont san michel 20 francs was the first, France have issued two more and Monaco have issued one since then. 

There is also the Mauritania 20 Ouguiya currently in circulation.

France 20 Franc is in fact tri-section but bi-metallic coin (gold + silver + gold).

Anyway, there is some real tri-metallic coins.

If you search the numista catalog, add filters, pull list composition, trimetalic,

you get 85 results.

I have a full set of Monaco 20’francs, N#2810 

struck in Paris , same as France 20 francs mentioned above.

France km165, km1008, km1016, km1036

Mauritania km15

There are about 140-150 more, but they are all NCLTs.

Also

N#164952

Regards, 

Plastic is no metal, it would be a tri-material coin though. 

As a side issue, the mont san michel 20 francs I was in Normandy when it was released and the first one I found was in my change for an ice cream at mont san michel. 

Trimetal coins are too expensive to make, the Mauritanian one is of too low a value for them to keep minting them.

There are 5 circulating trimetallic coins.. 3 France, 1 Mauritania and 1 Mauritius.. all others are non circulating.

What's the coin of Mauritius, and what about Monaco.

This is not a tri-metallic but a bi-metallic token from 1948, aluminium centre in a bronze ring. Until I bought one of these I had no idea bimetallics went so far back. I have one of the modern French tri-metallics and it is very beautiful. 0gramz, I'd love to get that one too! I'm a collector of bi- & tri-metallics, myself.

They are nice tokens, I have up to 100 cents. The higher denominations are harder to get.  Good Luck.

Probably the first bi-metallic. Too bad it didn't go into full production.

Indeed, I don't think I'll be getting one of those. I believe the 5 Gulden (my one) piece is the rarest of the Boorgeld coins. I don't think they went into higher denominations but am happy to be corrected. As this only came in my last parcel, I have not finished my research…

edited for clarity.

There are earlier Bimetalic coins

Okay, then, I thought 1948 was good. So far Gumardee has found the earliest - well done! Numista members like a challenge - can anyone find one earlier? Let's see if others can find one earlier, or more than one… I have thrown down the gauntlet!

To the winner, the spoils, AY

Not a coin, but Rome did issue bimetallic medals

My mistake.. it's Monaco not Mauritius.

Is the 20 Franc coin 3 different metals/alloys or is the center bit and the outer part the same? They look different, but the numista page says it’s the same

Pluto2181930Is the 20 Franc coin 3 different metals/alloys or is the center bit and the outer part the same? They look different, but the numista page says it’s the same

They are nominally the same composition, but since the cores and rings were punched separately, it's not unusual for the color between them to vary slightly due to minor differences (within the mint's tolerance) in alloy.

I just want to know if this is a trimetallic or bimetallic? 

Someone said that trimetallic should be 3 different metal.
