Interesting fact

The 5 Centimes coin from Baziège (31) ND (1914-1918) was made of cardboard, which is a unique and unusual material for coins. This was likely due to the scarcity of metals during World War I, which led to the use of alternative materials for coin production. The cardboard coins were issued by the Commune of Baziège in the Department of Haute-Garonne and were used as a temporary solution to address the shortage of small change during the war years.
