Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1918, during a time of great economic and political turmoil in France, particularly in the Department of Val-de-Marne where Joinville-le-Pont is located. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's brass composition and relatively low denomination of 20 centimes suggest that it was intended for everyday use by local merchants, industries, and inhabitants. This coin serves as a small but meaningful reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Joinville-le-Pont during a period of significant upheaval.
