This specimen is a common date of a series struck 1917-38 during the waning years of the [[France|French]] Third Republic. It superseded a similar coin struck in pure nickel 1914-16. This design was also used for similar [[France 1934 5 centimes|five]] and [[France 1933 25 centimes|twenty-five centime]] pieces; the central hole kept it from being confused with larger denominations with similar diameters. This coin is very common in circulated condition but hard to find choice. In 1922-24, the Paris mint was assisted by issues from Poissy, distinguished by the lightning bolt privy mark instead of the usual cornucopia (shown here).<br />
