Comment
Very fine nickel plating, which has disappeared on parts in poor condition, appearing to be made of zinc. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Centimes 1918 coin from Commune of Versailles is that it was produced during a time of great economic and political turmoil in France. The coin was minted in 1918, during the final year of World War I, when the country was facing severe economic challenges and food shortages. Despite these challenges, the coin was still made with a nickel plating, which was a significant improvement over the previous bronze coins that were prone to wear and tear. This fact highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Versailles during a difficult period in history.
