Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is made of aluminum, which is a relatively lightweight metal. This makes the coin itself very light, weighing only 0.15 grams. This is significant because it is unusual for coins to be made of aluminum, as most coins are made of heavier metals like copper, nickel, or silver. The use of aluminum in this coin's production makes it stand out from other coins and highlights the innovative approach of the Communes of Livarot and Saint-Pierre-sur-Dives in creating a unique and lightweight currency.
