This specimen is the last and most common date of a series struck 1917-20 during the Third Republic of France. It superseded a bronze five centimes struck 1898-1917 and 1920-21. Also in 1920 were struck a small number of the small module five centimes (KM 875, 17 mm diameter). This design was also used for similar ten and 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.
Recorded mintage: 51,321,082[1] including a few of the small module type.
Specification: 3 g, copper-nickel, 19 mm diameter, plain edge, designed by E. E. Lindauer (1869-1942).
Catalog reference: F.121/4, KM 865a.
