Interesting fact
The 10 Centimes (Péronne) 1922 coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in France, specifically during the Franco-Belgian currency union, which aimed to stabilize the currency and economy of both countries after World War I. The use of aluminum in the coin's production was a cost-saving measure, as it was a cheaper material than traditional metals like copper or silver. Despite the economic challenges of the time, the coin's design, featuring a stylized wheat ear and the value "10" on one side, and the Commune of Péronne's coat of arms on the other, remains a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
