Comment
Medal Alignment exists for 1920.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in France, specifically during the period of inflation that followed World War I. The use of aluminum, a relatively inexpensive metal, was a deliberate choice to reduce the cost of production and maintain the stability of the currency. Despite the economic challenges of the time, the coin still maintains a unique and interesting design, featuring the image of a woman representing the city of Nice, and is a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
