Interesting fact
The 5 Centimes 1918 coin from Commune of Annonay 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 resourcefulness and innovation of the Commune of Annonay in producing currency during a time of economic and political upheaval.
