Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1922, during a time of economic and political turmoil in France, particularly in the Marne department where Épernay is located. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's design and production were still able to showcase the beauty and craftsmanship of French numismatics.
