Interesting fact
The 25 Centimes 1921 coin from the Commune of Saint-André-de-l'Eure (Department of Eure) is interesting because it was made of aluminum, which was a unusual choice for coins at that time. Aluminum was not commonly used in coinage until the mid-20th century, so this coin is a rare example of an early use of the metal in coin production.
