Interesting fact
The 5 Centimes coin from Frévent, France, made of aluminum in 1922, was part of a series of coins minted during the French Third Republic (1870-1940) to address the shortage of small change in circulation. The coin's design features the profile of a young woman wearing a Phrygian cap, symbolizing liberty, and was created by French sculptor and engraver, Oscar Roty. Despite its small denomination, the coin's unique design and historical significance make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
