Interesting fact
The 10 Centimes 1920 coin from Commune of Châlons-sur-Marne was minted during a time of economic turmoil in France, specifically during the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune uprising. The coin's aluminum composition was a result of a shortage of traditional metals like copper and silver during this period. Despite its humble material, the coin still holds significant historical value and is a sought-after collector's item today.
