Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1921 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Chamber of Commerce of Evreux, a city located in the Department of Eure in Normandy, France. The coin features an image of the Chamber of Commerce building on one side and the value of 5 centimes on the other. It was made of brass, a copper alloy that was commonly used for coinage at the time. Despite not being a widely circulated coin, it remains a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
