Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of aluminum, which was a relatively new material for coins at the time. Aluminum was first used in coinage in the late 19th century, and it was not commonly used until the early 20th century. The use of aluminum in coins was seen as a way to reduce the cost of production, as it was less expensive than traditional metals like gold, silver, and copper. The use of aluminum in the 10 Centimes coin from Narbonne, France, in 1920 reflects the growing trend of using this material in coinage during that time period.
