Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1920 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Syndicat du Commerce et de l'Industrie (Union of Commerce and Industry) in Saint-Gaudens, a town in the Haute-Garonne department of France. The coin features a design by the French sculptor and coin engraver, Paul-Albert Bartholomé, and was produced in a limited quantity, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
