Interesting fact

The 25 Centimes 1921 coin from the Region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (French notgeld) made of Aluminium weighing 1.56 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic crisis in France, specifically during the First World War, as part of a series of emergency currency issues. These coins were made of aluminum, a relatively cheap and abundant metal, due to the shortage of other metals. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the resourcefulness and resilience of the people of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur during a difficult period.
