Interesting fact
The 25 Centimes 1920-1921 coin from Commune of Dunkerque was minted during a time of economic turmoil in France, specifically during the Franco-Belgian War. The coin was made of iron, which was a more affordable material than traditional metals like gold or silver, and it was designed to be easily identifiable and difficult to counterfeit. Despite its humble origins, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
