Interesting fact
The 1 Franc - Louis II ND (1943) coin from Monaco is interesting because it was issued during World War II, when Monaco was occupied by Italian and German forces. Despite the occupation, the Monegasque government was able to maintain some level of autonomy and continue minting coins, including this one. Additionally, the coin's aluminum composition is notable, as it was a common material used for coins during this time period due to the wartime scarcity of other metals.
