Comment
Brass blanks with different copper contents were used for the minting of Ouveillan tokens. This is why they are found with hues ranging from brassy yellow to orange-red close to copper (Elie 2003, p. 251). Interesting fact
The 25 Centimes ND coin from Commune of Ouveillan is a rare coin, with only a limited number of coins minted. It is estimated that only about 10,000 coins were produced, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
