Interesting fact
The 25 Centimes 1917 coin was issued during World War I, when many countries, including France, were facing a shortage of metals like copper and nickel, which were traditionally used to mint coins. To address this shortage, the French government decided to mint coins made of aluminum, which was a relatively new material at the time. As a result, the 25 Centimes 1917 coin was one of the first coins to be made of aluminum, making it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
