Interesting fact

The 10 Centimes coin from Rouen was issued in 1920, during a time when the French government was experiencing a shortage of small change. To address this issue, the government allowed local communities to issue their own coins, known as " Jetons de nécessité." The 10 Centimes coin from Rouen was one such coin, issued by the Ligue des Commerçants Rouennais (Rouen Merchants' League) and was made of aluminum, which was a relatively new material at the time.
