Interesting fact
The 10 Centimes 1917 coin from Commune of Bayonne was minted 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 mintage of coins was reduced, and alternative metals like iron were used to produce coins instead of the traditional silver or gold. This coin, made of iron and weighing 3.9 grams, is a unique example of the measures taken by the French government during this time of crisis.
