Comments

La Belote, a game registered by Bussoz in 1936, was played with 25-centime coins and the winnings were 50 centimes (king and queen in the color bet forming Belote) or 75 centimes (tierce to ace in the color bet). There are no known 75-centime tokens bearing the inscription "La belote".

100 ans de Machines à Sous - Jean Lemaitre - Éditions Alternatives - 1997 - Page 171.

Varieties:

with and without workshop name (the latter is also without dots on either side of the "50").
