Comment
Honorific issue offered by the manufacturer to the issuer’s representatives (elected officials, notables...). Some mintage may exceed one hundred. Posterior restrikes are suspected for Rouen (Elie 2003 p. 9).
Interesting fact
The 10 Centimes coin from the Commune of Rouen (Department of Seine-Maritime) was minted in 1918 and features an image of a woman representing the city of Rouen on one side, and a shield with the city's coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of brass and weighs 4.82 grams. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France, as the country was in the midst of World War I. Despite the challenges of wartime, the minting of this coin continued, a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of Rouen.
