Hello
I have made a list of coins with many variants that I found on the internet and catalogs. I also found some variants in my collection.
Are there any collectors who have studied this coins and found variants?
Are there any collectors interested in learning more about the topic with me?
regards

Here, in the Numista catalog, our colleague Ole Sjoelund has made some nice illustrations of some known variants-

Say also, there are some rare and valuable dates.
It is an interesting coin, being made in three different materials over the years. The bronze ones, we are told were made for use in Africa (which I presume means Algeria), and there was also a Tunisian version -

​The most interesting version of the aluminium version is 1948B "open 9" struck for Algeria

Hello
I finished the list of 5 FRANCS Lavrillier.
I found 84 variations or curiosities. I searched on some websites, catalogs and my coins.
Certainly it's not complete, but it's a starting point for suggesting collectors to look at their own coins carefully.
I can't publish it on forum because I have included many photos of catalogs that are undoubtedly copyright, but I'll be happy to send the list by email to anyone who wants it.
If you have variations or curiosities to add, please contact me.
regards

P.S. Sorry, the list is in Italian.
