Interesting fact
The 10 Centimes (Vimoutiers) 1922 coin was minted during a time when France was experiencing a severe economic crisis, known as the "Franc Poincaré" crisis, which lasted from 1922 to 1926. The crisis was caused by a combination of factors, including the cost of World War I, the collapse of the German mark, and the devaluation of the French franc. As a result, many French coins from this period, including the 10 Centimes (Vimoutiers) 1922, were made of aluminum instead of the more traditional metals like copper or silver, in order to reduce production costs. This makes the coin a unique and interesting artifact from a significant period in French history.
