Interesting fact
The 5 Centimes 1921 coin from Commune of Elbeuf was made of aluminum, which was a unusual choice of material 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 reflects the experimental nature of the early 20th century coinage and the willingness of the Commune of Elbeuf to try new materials and techniques.
