Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1918, during a time of great economic and social change in France. The coin's theme of "Solidarité Commerciale et Industrielle" (Commercial and Industrial Solidarity) reflects the country's shift towards industrialization and the growing importance of trade and commerce during this period. Additionally, the fact that it was issued by the Commune of Neuilly-sur-Seine, a small town just outside of Paris, highlights the local significance of this coin and the role that local communities played in shaping France's economic and social landscape during this time.
