Interesting fact
The 10 Centimes 1922 coin from the Department of Lot is interesting because it was made of aluminum, which was a unusual choice for coins at that time. Aluminum was not commonly used in coinage until the mid-20th century, so this coin is an early example of the use of this material in coin production.
