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 Evreux, a city located in the Department of Eure in Normandy, France. The coin features an image of the Chamber of Commerce building on one side and the value of 10 centimes on the other. It was made of brass and weighs 4.7 grams. Despite not being a widely circulated coin, it is considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and limited mintage.
