Interesting fact
The 10 Centimes 1922 coin from Commune of Cadillac was minted during a time of economic turmoil in France, specifically during the Franco-Prussian War and the subsequent establishment of the Third Republic. The use of aluminum in the coin's production was a deliberate choice to reduce the cost of production, as aluminum was a relatively inexpensive metal compared to other options like gold, silver, or copper. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic and political climate of France during that time period.
