Interesting fact
The 10 Centimes 1923 coin from Commune of Sables-d'Olonne was minted during a time of economic turmoil in France, specifically during the Great Depression. Despite the economic challenges, the coin was made of brass, which was a more durable and less expensive material than other metals, making it an interesting example of how currency was adapted to meet the needs of a struggling economy.
