Interesting fact
The 25 Centimes 1917 coin from Commune of Carcassonne was minted during a time of war, specifically during World War I. The use of aluminum in the coin's production was a deliberate choice due to the wartime need for copper, which was a more valuable and strategic metal at the time. This coin is a unique example of how war can impact the production of currency, and it serves as a reminder of the historical context in which it was created.
