Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1924, during a time when the French franc was the official currency of France, and the 25 centime coin was a significant denomination. However, this particular coin was not circulated and was instead issued as a non-circulating coin, which means it was not meant to be used as regular currency. Instead, it was likely produced as a collector's item or for a specific purpose, such as a commemorative coin.
