Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1918, during a time of great economic and political turmoil in France. The country was in the midst of World War I, and the government was struggling to finance the war effort. As a result, many coins from this period were made with alternative metals, such as silver, to conserve resources. The 10 Centimes - Chambre de Commerce - Rouen coin is a rare example of a silver coin minted during this time, and its value to collectors is enhanced by its historical significance.
