Comment
Blank varieties: thick 1.6 mm and thin 1.2 mm. Interesting fact
The 25 Centimes 1922 coin from Commune of Royan-sur-Océan was minted during a time when aluminum was a relatively new material in coin production. In fact, it was the first time that aluminum was used as a material for coinage in France. The use of aluminum was a significant innovation in coin production, as it was lighter, more durable, and less expensive than traditional metals like gold, silver, and copper. This made it an attractive option for producing coins, especially during a time of economic uncertainty and currency fluctuations.
