Interesting fact
The 5 Centimes 1917 coin from Commune of La Rochelle was minted during a time of war, specifically during World War I. The coin was made of iron, which was a common material used for coins during this time period due to the scarcity of other metals. The use of iron for coins was also a way for the government to save money and resources during the war effort. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still holds historical significance and is a valuable collector's item today.
