Interesting fact
The 5 Centimes 1921 coin from Communes of Charleville and Sedan was minted during a time of economic turmoil in France, specifically during the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune uprising. The coin's aluminum composition was a result of a shortage of traditional metals like copper and silver during this period. Despite its humble material, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of euros.
