Interesting fact

The 10 Centimes coin from the Commune of Perpignan, made of aluminum and weighing 1g, was issued during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was minted between 1917 and 1924, a period that saw the country experience World War I, the Russian Revolution, and the establishment of the Third Republic. Despite these tumultuous times, the coin remained a stable and widely-used form of currency throughout France, particularly in the Pyrénées-Orientales region where Perpignan is located.
