1980 France 5 Centimes Copper-Aluminum Uncirculated
This 1980 5 Centimes coin from France is a stunning uncirculated example of the Marianne Lagriffoul series.

The reverse displays the face value surrounded by an olive branch and a stalk of wheat, representing peace and fertility. As an uncirculated specimen, this coin retains its original luster and sharp details, making it an excellent addition for collectors of European numismatics or French historical currency. It is housed in a protective 2x2 cardboard flip labeled with its KM# 933 catalog reference for easy identification and storage.
