Comment
Honorific issue offered by the manufacturer to the issuer’s representatives (elected officials, notables...). Some mintage may exceed one hundred (Elie 2003 p. 9).
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1921 to commemorate the centenary of the Chamber of Commerce of Amiens, which was established in 1821. The coin features an image of the Chamber of Commerce building on one side and the value of 10 centimes on the other. Despite being made of gold-plated brass, the coin was not intended for circulation and was instead produced as a collector's item.
