Fake to serve

Faux pour servir is a numismatic term for a type of coin. Here's what it means.

What is a forgery to serve?

Definition

Fabriqués pour tromper le public à l’époque de la circulation normale de leur modèle, ces faux sont tout à fait collectionnés et ne doivent surtout pas êtres considérés avec les « faux pour collectionneurs », fabriques contemporaines destinées à escroquer le collectionneur.

Interest

The more successful a forgery is, the more it fits into and illustrates the economic history of the period, or even imitates an otherwise rare coin, or better still, invents a non-existent vintage, such as the 20 francs or 1915.
