Interesting fact
The 10 Centimes 1917 coin from Commune of Fumel was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in France. The country was in the midst of World War I, and the government was struggling to finance the war effort. As a result, the French government decided to produce coins made of iron, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like silver or gold. This coin, made of iron and weighing 4 grams, was one of the many coins produced during this time period, and it remains an interesting artifact of France's history today.
