Interesting fact
The 25 Centimes coin from Gournay-en-Bray is a rare example of a French coin that was made using aluminum, a lightweight and corrosion-resistant metal. This was a unusual choice for coins at the time, as most coins were made from more traditional metals like copper, silver, or gold. The use of aluminum in this coin reflects the experimental nature of the Gournay-en-Bray mint, which was known for trying out new materials and techniques in coin production.
