5 Centimes

The 5 Centimes 1918 coin from Commune of Poissy was minted during a time of great economic and political turmoil in France. The country was experiencing a severe shortage of metals, particularly copper and nickel, which were needed for the production of coins. To address this issue, the French government decided to mint coins made of aluminum, a relatively new material at the time. The 5 Centimes 1918 coin was one of the first coins to be minted using aluminum, and it was produced in limited quantities. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists.
