Comment
This 25-centime coin was never put into circulation, and can only be found in mint condition (Elie 2003, p. 124). Interesting fact
The 25 Centimes 1923 coin from the Commune of Gex (Department of Ain) 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.
