Interesting fact

The 25 Centimes coin from Réunion was made of aluminum, which was a unusual choice for coins at that time. Aluminum was still a relatively new material in the early 20th century, and it was not commonly used for coins until later in the century. The use of aluminum for this coin may have been a cost-saving measure or a way to showcase the island's industrial capabilities.
