Interesting fact
The 10 Centimes coin from Saint-Mandé is a rare example of a coin that was issued by a local commune in France, rather than by the national government. This coin was issued in the 19th century, and it features an image of a woman representing the commune of Saint-Mandé on one side, and the value of 10 centimes on the other. The use of local currencies like this coin was not uncommon in France during this time period, as many communes issued their own coins to facilitate trade and commerce within their boundaries. Today, coins like this are highly sought after by collectors and can be valuable additions to a collection of numismatic items.
