Interesting fact
The 10 Centimes 1922 coin from Commune of Sézanne (Department of Marne) was issued during a time of economic turmoil in France, specifically during the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune uprising. The coin was minted using aluminum, which was a relatively new material at the time, and was used as a substitute for the more traditional metals like gold, silver, and copper. This coin is a rare example of a coin made from aluminum during this time period, and its unique composition makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
