Interesting fact
The 25 Centimes coin from Commune of Saint-Gaudens (Department of Haute-Garonne) made of Aluminium weighing 2.3 g is interesting because it was produced during a time when aluminum was a relatively new material in coinage, and its use in coins was not yet widespread. The fact that it was used in a standard circulation coin speaks to the innovative spirit of the Commune of Saint-Gaudens and their willingness to experiment with new materials in their coinage.
