Interesting fact

The 25 Centimes 1922 coin from Commune of Toulouse was minted during a time of economic turmoil in France, specifically during the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune uprising. The coin's low denomination and aluminum composition were a result of the country's economic struggles and the need for a more affordable and accessible currency for the general population. Despite its humble origins, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
