The regime of Napoleon III finally carried out plans developed during the 1840's to melt down and remint all the old copper circulating in France, some of it dating back to before the Revolution of 1789. Several branch mints were reopened for this purpose. The existing mints were Paris ("A"), Strasbourg ("BB") and Bordeaux ("K"); the reopened mints were Lille ("W"), Marseilles ("MA"), Rouen ("B") and Lyon ("D"). The 1856-MA from Marseilles is common. The total production for the series is about 414 million. All the bronze five centimes pieces were demonetized in 1935 but by then were worthless.
Recorded mintage: 16,819,414[1].
Specification: 5 g, bronze, 25 mm diameter, plain edge, designed by Jean-Jacques Barré (1793-1855).
Catalog reference: F.116/35, KM-777.6; Gad-152; VG-3508.
