Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in France, specifically during the period of inflation that followed World War I. The use of aluminum, a relatively inexpensive metal, was a deliberate choice to reduce the cost of production and maintain the coin's value. Despite the economic challenges, the coin's design, featuring the image of a woman representing the department of Hérault, remains a symbol of the region's rich history and culture.
