Interesting fact
The 5 Centimes 1918 coin from Commune of Chatou was minted during a time of great change in France. The coin was issued during the final year of World War I, and its production was likely impacted by the war effort. Additionally, the coin was minted during a period of economic upheaval, as France was experiencing significant inflation at the time. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some examples selling for hundreds of euros.
