Interesting fact

The 25 Centimes 1921 coin was issued during a time when France was experiencing a severe shortage of small change. To address this issue, the French government decided to produce aluminum coins, which were lighter and less expensive to produce than traditional copper or silver coins. As a result, the 25 Centimes 1921 coin was made of aluminum, which was a unusual material for coins at the time.
