Interesting fact
The 5 Centimes coin from Commune of Dunkerque was minted during a time of economic turmoil in France, specifically during the Franco-Belgian currency union. The coin was made of iron, which was a cheaper alternative to other metals, and it weighed only 0.6 grams, making it one of the lightest coins in circulation at the time. Despite its small size and value, the coin remains a unique and interesting collector's item for numismatists today.
